Best car cover??

Hi guys,

Need to buy a car cover for an SL55. The car will primarily be stored indoors.

What is the best cover in your opinion? Are there retailers that sell covers at a substantial discount versus going to my local MB dealer?

Thanks for your help.

I bought a California Car Cover.

I got the superweave one done in two colors to match the interior of my car.

I also specified for them to not print their logo and not have the plastic grommets since I won't be locking the cover on.

Top quality stuff.

Here's their website:

California Car Cover

They are the best around. I have had many of their covers and they are extremely well built. They use the fewest pieces of fabric to create each cover and this reduces the number of seams so the cover fits well and looks quality.

The supreme weave is the best. It is so thin that it fits in your trunk while the factory cover will take up your entire trunk.

Most importantly, the supreme weave is less likely to scratch your paint.

Two thumbs up on the California Car Cover Supreme Weave!

They have great customer service as well!

You cant go wrong
