im going to be in 2nd year housing apartments at my college next year, and they dont have parking structures near the area, so my car is going to be sitting outside in the weather for the most part. i can always wash the car on a weekly basis and all, but should I get a cover anyway? It's mostly sunny down in irvine.

Here are the instructions that came with my weathershield Nissan cover.
Powder detergent (NO BLEACH)
Wash on "Normal Cycle" or "permanent press".
Cold or warm water. NO HOT WATER.
Run cover through TWO rinse cycles. It's important to remove all detergent.
Then dry in dryer on "permanent press". NO FABRIC SOFTNER.
You can also place the cover on your car inside out and rinse with a hose, then let dry.
For soiled areas, wash by hand with a water/detergent mix.

I found some decent ones from empire. This cover was a replacement cover for a custom cover that cost three times as much and started leaking water and collecting dust under the cover in less than a year. My Empire cover is 4 months old, has survived numerous strong thunderstorms and seering Texas sun, and so far is exceeding my expectations. I have 3 cars under cover, soon the other two will be covered by Empire.
