There are some new materials in car covers so if going to order try to get a sample swatch.

If your worried about door dings then you need the thickest material. But think material can be hard to fold and unfold, and when they get wet are harder to remove and store.

If you cover your car where rain can freeze, if you attempt to move a cover with snow or frozen moisture on it the cover will likely tear.

The lighter the cover the more so wind will get under it and ballon the fabric. So grommet holes and rope to keep the cover on. You may need to tie down the car at both in width and length to prevent the cover from blowing half way off.

And if your car is dirty - placing a cover on or removing the cover with a dirty finish can cause hairline swirl marring.

I use a car cover daily mainly during the warm months when all the road salt has washed away. It keeps the car cool and and the rubber protected from U.V..

You may just want to use a cover just on bright sunny days to prevent sun damage and a dedicated outdoor cover for the sun (not much for ding protection).
