Best place to buy car cover

Can't tell you the best place but Noah Covers are one of the best on the market..I've had two and they work really well. I would look online for best price and selection IMO

Noah. CA car cover. I have bought two.

If you have a shark fin antenna, tell them you want them to allow for that.

My new car is a little snug over the antenna and a little loose over the back window because of it.

The rest of it is very snug.
 
check with the dealership, my MB and BMW have Noah car covers that I got the dealership to throw in as part of the deal and they are custom fit
 
I have a Noah cover on my car, search around online for the best price and who is running the best deal on one, you can usually get free stuff thrown in like a lock kit or bag to store it in. I don't remember where I purchased mine but it works great so far and I haven't seen any additional swirl marks from using it in the 2 months I have had it.

That's what I decided to do for my wife's car but with the convertible top on my car the cats love to sleep on it so I was forced to buy a cover to protect it from getting destroyed, they don't touch her though strangely.
 
I have had at least a dozen car covers over the past few decades..
The best ones are those that fit tightly (so they wont blow off easily), are light, and repel water.. The best ones will have a liner inside that will not scratch the paintwork easily..

The Noah cover is great, but it is big, bulky, and heavy, looks like crap on a swoopy car..:)

CA Car Cover makes some really good ones, and so does Covercraft..

Get the lanyard, lock, and grommet holes in it so you can secure it if its windy or people like to steal..

You are looking to cover an SUV, so its going to be a little harder because of the height, but its still manageable, especially if the cover is light and not bulky..

Good luck !

I reckon there'd be no harm in doing both?.

The cover has other advantages, and also some disadvantages also. I would say a cover will possess a higher degree of UV blockage than any protectant in a bottle that one could ever place on a vehicle.

It "hides" a vehicle from prying eyes, offers some abrasion resistance from flying objects to an extent.

Such as the Covercraft NOAH, it may ease time spent cleaning a vehicle, or when it does need cleaning, the processes are easier.

The downsides are of course the installation and the removal of the cover when you need to use the vehicle. If that's on, or almost on a daily basis, the work will get somewhat aggravating over time.

If you need the use of the vehicle immediately after a rainstorm, this can be a problem if the cover is still wet, or damp. The problem will then be, where, and how do you store the cover so it will fully dry, and not have molds-mildews develop?

I've been very happy with my Covercraft NOAH, no regrets in buying it.
Since they are form fitted, and custom sewn for every vehicle, their appearance will mimic the vehicle underneath. Still though, so many midsize, and small cars look similar today, a passer by would not be able to easily identify if the vehicle underneath is a Lexus, a BMW, a Hyundai, etc.

I agree fully about insuring that you exactly know what the cover's features are for your particular vehicle. Any things like Custom Ground Effects, or as mentioned a Shark Fin Antenna, etc, do insure that cover includes such.

Non-removable Whip Antennas will most likely mean the user placing a hole and grommet on the cover where required. If needed, insure that the cover comes with such.

Because if not, you will be sending that cover back for alterations-modifications, and it will more than likely be on your dime.

The Gust Guards, and Security Cable are IMO must haves. Mark
