Car Cover

My 997 will be garage kept and covered when I take delivery. What's a good car cover you can recommend me?

Having the best car cover is always one of the pleasures of ownership. However, here is my take:

If your car will be in the garage, 90%+ of your needs is dust-protection. Given that, I have found that the lightest cover (which equates to cheap cover) is the best. The light one would be easier to apply, remove, wash and compact when stored..


Again, IMO.

The car will be garaged 90% of the time and will only see the sun on my days off of work.

Thanks for the opinion

My C2S is a weekend driver, had a cover for 4 years, used it religiously the first 3 months and since then it has morphed into a patio furniture cover.
My advice, try for the first month to cover and uncover with a bedsheet, even just partially and see how long you can do it before you invest in it.

They all do morphed! I probably have 6 somewhere in the attic and garage. I like seeing my cars in the garage. Having them covered is like an abandoned house. Besides, I always wondered if a rat or snake decided to make my covered cars as a Motel-6.

Op, check the classifieds here. One is for sale a few weeks ago and I don't think it has sold. It's a good one and I almost made an offer.
