Cool A C63 Car Cover? What To Look For?

Hi all,

Lately I have been searching via google for a good indoor car cover for my new C63. I hope some of you here can give me a few tips as to what to look for in a indoor car cover? Also I seem to find that most car covers, supposedly just for the C63 cost around $170 - $200. How much should a car cover cost (reasonable price)???

Sorry for the newbie question but I need some insight from the more knowledgeable here. Thanks!

I've heard Coverking's satin stretch is a nice cover, if you're only using it indoors. I have the silverguard plus cover for my C230 Coupe, for outdoor use:

Thank you c32AMG-DTM for the link. I am wondering if the price of 200 dollars is really worthit for a satin cover? I will keep re-searching but I don't think I want to spend over 140 or 150 for a car cover. Any suggestions are welcome!

For relative ease of handling choose a cover with a fabric weight of between 4-7 oz per sq. yd. Used for long-term vehicle storage, either in the garage or outdoors, car covers protect against accidental scratches and dings from passers-by, car doors, lawn mowers, sporting equipment, bikes and pets.

Vehicle Storage

Indoor: Dustop TM- 4 layer (polypropylene / polyethylene composite spun bond) cover with maximum dust protection and its soft inner layer protects paint. Light and easy to handle, prevents dings, for inside protection from dust and dirt, ideal for indoor vehicle storage or as the primary cover of a two-cover system (see Strong Winds or Desert Dust Storms)

They have some decent ones from empire. their website has a computer generation tool so you can see what the cover looks like on and off the car pretty cool.
