For outdoor use I would avoid one and keep it washed, even the better quality ones seem to trap some moisture and cause rubbing against the paintwork. Indoors, the soft lined ones seem good, or something like a carcoon if your budget is higher.

Outside halfords ones are ok but I only use mine occasionally as a last resort, I'd be dubious to long term use as I've seen corners become thin on paint due to rubbing as the wind blows.

i have this cheepy £30 ish one https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/cl-car-cover-med-pev/ tho might be the large one ive got, for the sierra.

Thats not caused me any issues, tho its only ever on for a few day to a week, whilst im doing build / contruction type work near the car.

Also have a full on out door carcoon £500+ for long term outside use, and its a decent bit of kit! Unless it snows, you need to brush the snow off if it settels.
