Default Good car cover??

Hi,
I’m putting one of my cars under a carport for a while. It’s a Xr8 sprint. Can anyone recommend a good tight car cover for the falcon. Something with felt stuff underneath so it doesn’t scratch the paint as it’s black. How much roughly as well?? Thanks

Don't bother.
The wind gets underneath, blows them about and it'll wreck the paint. Doesn't matter how good they are.
They are fine for indoor use, but would never use them for outside.

Not expensive, will do the job, straps will keep it tight and elasticised.
