Default Best Indoor Car Cover?

Just pulled the trigger on a 2020 C8 Coupe and I need to figure out the best car cover for inside storage in the garage.

Would like it to have some bump and scratch resistance as it's parked next to another car.

Any recommendations?

I've seen the "moving blanket" car covers but I think that may be going overboard a bit!

Thanks for the help

(will change my signature later!)

For me, none... that goes for both the C8 and the Ferrari.

Congrats on the C8

just sharing if it has not already been done GM requires the transmission fluid to be drained and replaced at 3 years. Cost about $1,000 - $1,300.

ran into that when I bought my 2020

Why bother unless you don’t drive it and if you don’t drive it, why own it?

I purchased this one. Very soft/Stretchy & fits great even when the mirrors fold upon locking. Very similar to my bike covers. Best thing, pricing was great, paid $180 on Black Friday.

Thank You!

I actually talked the dealer into doing that for me prior to me picking the vehicle up.

Omaha too...nighty night..

The main thing is a cover that's made for a C8, not a "fits all Corvettes"...

I have had the stretchy car covers. They are nice, but my favourite is two King size high thread count flat bed sheets for dust only. Easy to put on, take off, fold up small and easy to wash.

I use a car cover while travelling to dissuade the curious and for 4 months storage. My requirements:

No logos.
Easy to install/remove.
Roll up small (lives in front storage)
Why do covers need to form-fit the mirrors? That seems like impeding solo install.
Bonus: inexpensive.
Car Covers For All Sizes - CarCoversFactory.com

So 3 years and about 50 installs
