Default Car Covers

Has anyone got some advice on car covers?
I need to purchase one for my T Series however I don't want a cheap and nasty one that will rub/scratch the paint.I saw some today for $40 and some for $140, Triple eight have one for sale at $700!!! Any personal experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks

I use a very good quality Autotecnica car cover, mainly to stop dust or accidental scatches on the car whilst it sits in the garage. Its got a nice silver waterproof exterior lining & a soft/plush inside lining. Its fully breathable so no condensation & also it won't damage your paint work. Costs about 200 bucks from the usual auto outlets. Don't go for the cheap ones.
Also, I never put the cover back on the car unless its FULLY washed & dried that way the inside lining always remains clean, dry and free of dirt/grime.

Have a look at this website, although they are in the US, they do ship to Australia. I have a couple of their covers and know a few other people who swear by them as well.

I have come across a couple Aunger car covers, about $70 worth and they just kind of disintegrated after a couple months. I was surprised because there is never any trouble with Aunger products. I dont know if it was a just a couple of bad ones or what but I cant say I would be getting one, dont want to take the risk!
