Hey all! I'm trying to do a little Christmas shopping and I'm noticing a plethora of choices for car covers for G37's. I'm looking for a cover probably grey that I can use when I go on business trips (my current job has me traveling for several weeks at a time out of an airport with outdoor long term parking). I'd like to get a cover that's waterproof but that doesn't break the bank. Also pictures would be great if you have them on your own car.

Thanks!

Many airports have independent parking facilities within a mile or two with indoor parking and free shuttle service.

I use Corporate Parking at Newark & choose indoor parking. They give a free car wash when parking for a week or more.

I had a Covercraft Evolution 4 (made by Kimberly-Clark) car cover for several years on my Cobra. Did a GREAT job of protecting her!!!! (And, you don't want a 'water proof' you want something that breathes so that the water will evaporate that is under it.)

Car covers will leave dust on the car. Keep a California Duster in the trunk to quickly get rid of the dust after taking the cover off. Also, I would keep a bottle of Zaino detail spray and a 100% cotton towel in the trunk to give it a quick once over!!!

autoanything carries them as well as many other vendors. Google for the cheapest.

lol you've obviously never been to Augusta regional airport then. I'd be afraid to ask any valet type person that question cause I think he might have a heart attack from laughing so hard. Down here in the south we don't have the extreme cold or snow so most of the small airports only have parking lots. The sun though is evil. Even in Jan/Feb.

I actually have 2 covers for my Camaro. There are a few times I had to leave it outside. I have one real soft cotton one and one that is made of Kevlar (I believe that is how you say it.)

I got the cotton one from California Car Cover Company. http://www.calcarcover.com/how_to_select.aspx . Fits the car like a glove. Even as detailed as to asking me if it had a spoiler or not.

The Kevlar one is loose fitting. I really don't remember where I got it from. I would put the soft one on, then the waterproof one on top of that. One bad thing about car covers is if you use tire shine it will get on the cover. I always make sure I get someone to help me and grab one end of it and shake it real good before I put it on so there won't be any dust on it and I never put it on the car if it was dusty. I was always afraid that would grind the dust into the paint. A poorly used and poor quality car cover is probably worse than not using one at all.
