Car Covers
Becareful of car covers, cheap ones (and even some expensive ones) can cause swirl marks all over your car 
I am anti car covers now after repeated bad experiences.

Putting the cover on and taking it off repeatedly can cause you to scratch the clear coat (aka swirl marks). I would just apply a thick layer of good wax or sealant once a week to prevent dirt and dust from setteling between the molecules of the paint.

autoanything. com has good car covers, they run like 250-300 i think, but they are "water proof", or as water proof as they come. it probally is true that you can scratch your clear coat, but i dont have a garage, so its that OR have bird crap on my car that will eat away at my paint.

I personally would not buy covers after running into something similar with my 350z that MB_forever talked about (scratches)...
But here are some ebay links... 80 to 100 $ shipped...
