Why not the genuine 2009 Acura TL car cover?

i like to cover my car with a gentle sprinkling of road salt so as to give it that 8 inch snow fall look.

If you use a car cover, ensure the car is completely clean before you put it on. Any grit on the surface will scratch the finish even when a mild breeze blows across. It will rub back and forth.
Also, make sure you get the right cover for your particular application. Some are designed to be used out doors, some used as a dust cover in the garage. There are different weights and backings that will or will not allow the cover to breath. Choose wisely!

I used autosupermart.com and got free shipping, free bag, and free lock on a covercraft NOAH.

I don't trust the Acura one as I don't know what it is made of, but Covercraft Custom covers and CoverKing (doesn't make the 09 TL yet) have protected all my vehicles without much problem.

I went to COSTCO (not sure if they're all over the states) and got me and great cover for $35. I only use it when I know I'm not using the TL for a few days consecutively and cars is spotless.

I use a garage to cover my car, so I guess I'm blessed for that.
