What car cover can all ya'll recommend?
I had a really expensive weatherproof one with breathers etc... but found it a pain to put on the car due to its heavy weight, and also the elastic edges where the corners are gathered put small scratches on the clear coat when putting on and pulling off. My car is always garaged now so doesn't need to be waterproofed, so I'm looking for something really soft and lightweight to just keep the dust off. I'm yet to find anything decent in your usual car shops like Supercheap, Auto One, Repco etc... So I'm thinking maybe something online. Any recommendations would be great. Cheers!

If you want the absolute best car cover and are prepared to pay for it, then get yourself a Chief Car Cover.
They are tailor made for each car and are even made right here in WA. My mate has one for his concours 68 HK Monaro and it is the softest fabric you'll get.

I have a very lightweight cover which is made from quite thin material similar to a parachute because my XR is mostly in the garage these days so like the OP, just wanted to keep the dust off. Its a Coverall branded product. I bought the extra large size.
Pros I found it at Supercheap for around $44. Easy to fit comes with attached carry bag Cons Needed to cut a small hole for the antenna No openings for door access like some expensive brands have Not for long term outdoor use due to its thin material and no inner lining to stop rubbing in windy conditions

Supercheap also have a show car one for indoor use only
It is red and very soft on the car side. I have 2 of them for my special girls and they are brilliant - cost around $60 when on special

Covercraft 'fit' is smack on...you can get similar materials for less but fit and finish is work the bucks IMHO (though mines an outdoor)
