Default Outdoor car covers

Does anyone have real experience, good or bad with outdoor car covers. I’m Looking for one that won’t cause damage due to wind or holding moisture.

The only way is a cover that doesn't touch the car. Garage, glorified shed. I had to build a storage shed off my garage for my car. Was sick of it taking up all the room.
Problem with an outdoor cover, is even if it's made from the finest material, there is absolutely no way to keep debris from getting between the car and cover. You might think it's sealed up, but check underneath the cover in a week or two. It will be filthy.
The damage once the wind starts moving the cover around happens real quick.

Bonus to the shed is no mice either.

That’s the answer I was afraid of, and pretty much expected. Thanks for the confirmation on that.

And the when in the garage or she'd put the cover on especially for long term storage.
Got a sports car that sits 8-9 months of the year, all buffed up, in the garage and covered for the winter haul, pull the cover off and she is turn key good to go for a nice wk-end cruise
