Default Car cover recommendations

Could someone recommend a reasonably priced cover to keep the dust out while the car is in the garage. Thanks.

I asked a similar question a little while ago and hlgeorge mentioned a Dustop cover, I bought one and couldn't be more pleased with it. I paid ~$210.

I think I remember seeing one in the $70 price range, however I've had covers for other cars which did nothing to keep dust out and didn't mind spending a bit more to get a good one.

btw this helps with the dust as well: The Original California Car Duster

Thank you. I guess better spend more for a useful product than waste $100.

Are you wanting to cover the whole car or just the interior when the top is down??

Whole car, consensus here was that it is better to keep the top up when the car is not used.

Do as you feel comfortable. I keep my top down most of the summer and up most of the winter with no problems. I bought the interior cover for the warm weather months to keep the dust out.

I have always kept top up other then when I drive mainly to reduce wrinkling of the top. Does it get quite wrinkled leaving it down all the time in the summer.

Forgot to mention I use car covers by California car covers. I guess they are probably more than you want to spend but they are great quality and custom fit perfectly
