Car Cover opinions
I last purchased a Camaro car cover in 1992. I believe it is a California Car Cover in gray, exterior cover and multi layer with a soft interior layer. That used to be the only option. Now they offer multiple indoor and outdoor covers with descriptions that are very similar to each other. I was looking at their interior cover that is top rated for dust resistance and nearly as high for softness. The cover will never be used outside. What are you buying that you are happy with?

CoverCraft has a selection guide on their website.
https://www.covercraft.com/us/en/compare-chart
Although they had many more products in that chart when I shopped about 2 years ago. I'm not sure where is the really detailed chart.

Re: Car Cover opinions
I would suggest this Budge Cover. It is like flannel on the inside and silk on the outside. The only thing I didn't care for is the plastic loop to cable it down so I cut them out. More reasonable cost for an indoor cover. I have two of these.

I have a Wolf cover that I bought years ago that I'm happy with. I don't use it much anymore, but I did when I was deployed. Even when the car was outside for months, it kept it pretty clean.

Or, maybe you could drive it so the dust doesn't collect as much?

Re: Car Cover opinions
I put the same quality covers on my old Model A’s as I do on the Camaros. They will also work on the lowly Firebirds and T-Birds🤓

Re: Car Cover opinions
When I got my Roush Mustang, my wife bought me a Roush indoor cover for it for Christmas. I liked it so much I decided to look at who made it. Fortunately there was a small tag that stated "Cover King"
So I went out and found Coverking.com I ended up buying 4 more covers from them, each a different color and they match the color of my car. I actually got them from carid.com for less. If you call Coverking, they will usually get you a 10% discount if you ask.
I really like their "Satin stretch" covers, They have mirror pockets in the Firebird ones, I suspect they should have them for the Camaro ones too.
Bought one for my son's Fiero too...

Keep in mind that the 91-92 Z28 cover should be different than the 91-92 RS...

Re: Car Cover opinions
I used a "hail-proof" and water proof cover for about 9 months one year when my car had to be outside. This was 6 or 7 years ago and I THINK the cover was made by cover king?
I think the cover worked too well. The car was parked on a paved driveway (that was inclined, so no standing water) and the cover managed to trap moisture inside the car which caused some mold growth in the rear that took quite the cleaning to remedy
All that to say - I've had good luck inside with a few old sheets. The fitted sheets fit well over the nose/hood and kind of holds itself there and then the flat sheet will cover the windshield and back of the car. Super soft, keeps the dust off, easy to put on/take off, and cheap!
