HELP: WTB indoor car cover
I'm looking to buy an indoor car cover for my W211 E55. Primarily, I'm looking for a very soft material that is effective in keeping dusts off of it. Any experiences with the following? As well, to any recommendations where the best (read cheapest) place to purchase. Any other covers I should consider?
1. Covercraft Form-Fit
2. Coverking Satin Stretch
3. Covercraft Dustop
TIA

If it is just for dust and in your garage, get two king size velour blankets and sew them together. You will put more scratches and wear on the corners of your bumper using a custom fit car cover.
I rigged up a pulley system that lifts the blanket off the car and up to the garage ceiling. Beats folding up the cover every time you want to take the car out.

I ran 6 ropes to a single point on the wall by the driver door with a boat cleat on the wall. Just pull down, wrap around the cleat and you're off. When you return, just uncleat and let 'em drop.

They are soft and I have not had a problem with the paint scratching and one of the cars is black. I always make sure that the cars are dusted with a California car duster before I put the covers on.

Ha! Don't temp me
LOL, Perhaps a couple of HEPA filtration systems will be sufficient? 
Actually, keeping a black car clean is a PITA. I have to admit I am a little obsessive and neurotic about keeping my car clean.
While it's such a PITA, nothing beats a spotless and shiny black car.
