Default LIghtweight/Indoor car cover-which one?

All

Looking for a dust cover only, something really light-like a flannel sheet or similar material. Looking online it is difficult to tell exactly what the material is like. If any of you have a specific one that you like please advise brand-thx!

I recommend calling Big Sky Car Cover in Montana (1-800-221-4875). I purchased a cover from them for my cobra in 20009 and have been extremely satisfied. I purchased model C67NH, but that might not be the current number now. They will work with you to get the exact product you want. And, their prices are very competitive. And, no, I don't have any affiliation, or interest, in Big Sky Car Cover. I'm merely a satisfied customer.

Some folks DO only use a flannel sheet... Bed Bath & Beyond

If you must have a dedicated car cover, California Car Cover is my choice. Check them out...

Agree, if the only reason is a dust cover, old sheets will also suffice

you can buy plastic covers like the ones in the video. A few dollars each.

i use flannel sheets, i'm kinda anti-car cover, the fear of it always rubbing the paint in the same spot.

2 king size flannels covers the car nice. easy to fold up and stow too

I've been using a plastic sheets and bunching up the corners and securing them wih masking tape to somewhat create a fitted cover. But now that I've got to the point where I can do my final buff and polish I'm planning to switch over to my cotton flannel California Car cover.

California car covers makes several diff types. Read specs. on their web site. Indoor and outdoor are diff. Needed a custom one for Buckshot sand car , no problem. They have one already for cobra with roll bar, real soft, meant for indoors.
