Default Suggestion for indoor cover

As the title says, looking for a nice soft indoor cover. I have the version backdraft sells and while it has a soft inner lining, the cover is a POS. it literally leaves lint all over the car. I used it after washing my car, took it off a week later and the car was covered in dust/lint. I'd like something like the indoor car cover I have for my Porsche. It's excellent and fits like a glove.

Appreciate any suggestions and experiences you can share

I actually am using a Porsche cover on my Cobra, and it fits great! You should try the fit and buy a second one like it if it fits. My cover was given to me by a friend that sold his car.

I would be interested too for finding a good indoor cover. Dust goes right through the one I have.

Ive been using a California cover since I got mine a year ago. While it does leave a small amount lint on the car because of the lining, I've been very happy with it. Fits perfectly.

Default Indoor Car Cover

For indoor storage I love my California Car Cover - Dustop Car Cover. Handles the dust very well. It's a little thicker/bulkier so I hope it handles bumps a little more than a thin cover.

I use an indoor cover from Jegs. Got it at Christmas. 50 bucks. Does the job. Just measure the length of your car. It is baggy looking though

Here's another vote for California Car Cover - I prefer the Plush Weave for both indoor and occasional outdoor storage. I've purchased this cover for all of my cars. With regards to lint, yes, in the beginning they do leave some lint behind, however I have found that after a wash or two, lint is no longer an issue. For me, lint is not an issue, as I use an anti-static detail spray before covering my cars, so with a quick "swish" of a California Duster, the lint is quickly gone.

I have the cotton weave cover on mine, but what's the best way to wash these things? Mine could use it after a year.

Cal car covers make the best by far. Pricy but well worth it. Plus with their top of the line cover thats custom made fits a Cobra precisely. You can select a color too and either with one or two roll bars. Optional personalization on the front too. About 390.00 and free delivery for their best one.

It's funny how people will spend 60k plus on a cobra then ***** when they have to pay $300 plus on a cover, you have to pay to play, especially if you want quality...

Anyone have a Lonestar? I am wanting to see if the California car cover will fit the same since the measurements are just a little different than other manufacturers.
