Default Need help on choosing car cover..

I just moved to a new apartment. Now, I have to park in the street every night.. and there is watering to the glass on the side of the street, so the right side of my car always got sprayed. There are tons of water spots in my car. Even I go to wash it, the next day, there will be water spots all over again.
So I guess I should buy a car cover..
I need to drive my car everyday, is taking on and off the car cover takes a long time??
And which is the best car cover? The OEM car cover is too expensive.. its $17x..
Any cheaper and also works as well?
Thanks in advance.

I love taking the cover off and seeing my clean car next to all the dirty cars parked next to me. The first time you get tree sap on the cover, it will have paid for itself because that would have been on your paint.

i keep my baby in my car and still use the oem cover alot. I love it bought it used off a member for 100 bucks i think. Had no stains or anything on it. If im leaving town for a few days or know im not driving my car i cover it up. Keeps dust etc. off of it. I had to leave it outside for a couple nights garage was full so i left it on for those 2 nights. takes me about 3 minutes to stretch it on its quick and painless.

You can buy a generic "medium" size car cover from Walmart or Sams for about 40 bucks

Meh, those ones arent that great... They dont fit so well since its just a "general" shape to fit most cars. Besides, if you use generic ones, youd have to take off your antenna everytime you put it on.



but sure...generic ones are cheap.

OP was beatchin about price so the generic one fits the bill. He can spend 20 bucks on a shorty antennae and no problems. I have one and rarely use it, but it serves its purpose.
