Best Car Cover for 350z

Hey guys,

My two year anniversary of buying my 350z is coming up fast. Thought I would treat the Z to a nice polish and wax. Then buy a nice car cover before the Summer rolls around. What are some of the best car covers for our cars? I drive a 2008 Black 350z and live in Hot AZ (little rain but a lot of dust and the killer sun).

Thanks in advance for the links and answers.

A cover in Arizona in summer will be hot as hell. Baltimore 80 degrees. Car has been in the sun about 6 hours at work with a cover. At the end of the day it is about 95 degrees inside that car.

Figure Arizona 100 degrees. 6 hours in the sun and it will be about 115 degrees inside the car. My concern is glue and adhesive used in the interior. How will this extreme heat effect interior?

Here is a summer trick that I learned: Roll the windows down. Then put cover on car. Still with windows down heat buildup inside car is crazy.

Ultra violet radiation is a cover killer. Not sure about life of cover.

BTW why hide this in the Vendor Wanted forum? Are you thinking that a vendor will offer you a choice of covers?

Thanks for the reply but still think the car would fair better if covered in the sun. Better the cover then the paint getting ruined and I'm sure the interior pieces have been tested for the extreme heat. Good tip on the windows down or cracked though.

Oh, have no idea why my post was moved to the vendor section?
