Dust Covers (keeping the show cars clean)

I just picked up two indoor stretch covers from Budge Covers and am really pleased..

I put this in the detailing forum because I’ve seen questions about covers in here and figure it has do do with keeping the car freshly detailed!

The outside is almost like a stretchy athletic jersey material and the underside is very soft like a microfiber against the paint..

They come with cases and are super quick on and off

When I get home from a drive I do a quick dust, Detail mist an throw the cover back on..

$150/ each but exactly what I was looking for..

Re: Dust Covers (keeping the show cars clean)

I also bought a car cover recently for my 82 firebird. I wanted a custom fit one and was able to find on CARiD for $150. It is a Coverking Triguard Custom Car Cover. I have yet to use it, but it is meant for indoor and outdoor use and repels rain and dust. I'll add another reply when I find out whether or not it works well.

Re: Dust Covers (keeping the show cars clean)

I have another cover king custom auto body armor cover for the Camaro that is 3 or 4 layers and protects against all elements as well as dings (or so it says). It has a soft liner as well but is pretty cumbersome to use as a dust cover.. It was $600 and I was going to use it when I didn’t have a garage, but by the time the car was done being painted we closed on a house with a garage.. It’s like putting a giant padded north face coat on your car... In the winter I was going to bring it to
my parents garage..

cover king is really good quality I have to say.. I actually didn’t want a custom cover for in the garage because I wanted to be able to throw it on/off easily... The fitted ones won’t blow off outside though and my coverking fits like a glove!

Looks good and the price ain't bad. I wish mine were in the garage but at some point they will. I'm looking for an affordable/quality outdoor cover(s) now

Thanks for sharing
