As an aside, be careful about washing the car cover. Every time I have washed a cover, it has begun to disintegrate and then leaves fine "dust" all over the car. Even the manufacturers of some covers advise just rinsing them off with water, not using commercial washers/dryers and detergent.

Another aside, I have a 50 lb dog that likes to jump on the hood of the cars when she gets scared. My cobra has a cover, blanket, brooms, boxes and any other thing I can think of to keep her off of my car. Wife thinks it's funny when I go out to the garage and find 16 deep scratches on the hood of my Honda where the dog has jumped on it and slid off.

Time for a new dog or a new wife?
