Looking for Car Cover recommendations

I'm looking for a quality fitted car cover for my 2014 RLX. My main concern is UV as the summer sun here in Virginia can be brutal. Also the pollen in the spring is crazy. Not much snow and ice in the winter.


Any suggestions for brands I might consider and has anyone used the Acura branded covers.


Thanks!

The only brand I've ever used is California Car Cover and I've loved every one. They have several lines which offer variable protection at different price points. I've used a few different ones (NOAH was one of my favorites, but you may like the Superweave HD or Sunbrella) and I've loved them all... both indoor and outdoor...

Car cover Suggestion

I've purchased 2 Covercraft Weathershield HD car covers. One for my car and one for my wife's car. They are unmatched in quality and durability. Live in Central NJ so they have seen rain, sleet, sun and snow and have not faded, cracked or deteriorated in any way. Costs a bit more, but in my eyes, well worth the price!

I have heard good testimony from TL owners about Sunbrella.

Thanks to all for taking the time to respond. It's always good to hear advice from people who've used a product or service. I went with California Car Cover's Noah, (thanks for the link juniorbean). Looks like good quality and attention to detail.


Thanks again!

Car cover came today and thanks for your advice and suggestions. Posted some pics of this quality fitted cover if anyone else should be looking. If you can't garage it (My garage has been overtaken by our 14 year old Shih Tzu) this is the next best thing. Thanks all!

Not in the least... your comment just reminded me how some companies will inundate you with their catalogs when you order (think the old Crutchfield catalogs) In fact, I received another one yesterday! It's cool, I needed a sheepskin wash mitt, couldn't find one in the local auto stores so I ordered one. Guess I'll be receiving them well into the afterlife now


P.S. There was a little box that asked if I knew anyone who'd like a catalog. I can refer you if you'd like...:wink:
