Did anyone buy or is using outdoor car cover for the W205 ? Either 3rd party or OEM ?

A point to consider

1) If you put a cover on a car that is not very clean, the cover will grind the surface dirt and dust into the paint as the wind moves the cover back and forth

Yes, I have an 3rd party cover. I only used it once.

It sure would have to be real windy for that to happen. It's better than being baked by the sun.

Here is what I got:

C17812GK Covercraft Custom Fit Car Cover: 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300 4Matic Short wheelbase with 2 mirror pockets (Evolution - GK Gray) Size G3

The fit is perfect, and the quality is high. The only thing I don't like is that it is bulky. I paid $207. I will sell you mine if you want it - only used one day.
