car cover

Hi, my parking space has no cover so I am thinking about buying a car cover for my TSX. Anyone know the difference between an Acura original TSX car cover and those $40 ones from pepboys besides the printed "acura" on the expensive one? Thanks.

I wouldn't do it. Your car will be dirty and putting the cover on will rub all the dirt and various other things on the car and scratch the paint.

In my experience car covers are nothing but a hassle.

The TSX cover is made from the "Block It" fabric listed on this website:

http://www.carcoversdirect.com/fabrics_materials.php

It's a lot better than the generic-fit and cheap fabrics of the Pep Boys brands. However, I'd spring for the extra cost of a custom fit. Buy one from an independent company like carcoversdirect and save about a lot compared to the Acura-branded one. They'll be almost exactly the same except for the logo on the front.

Also, fabrics like evolution are designed to avoid scratching as much as possible, but always a bad idea to put one on a really dirty car.

My condo has a shared parking area, so I tend to put the cover on when I go out of town, primarily for ding and dust protection.
