Advice for an all-weather car cover?
Hello,
I'd like to buy my husband an outdoor car cover for his birthday. He recently bought a 2017 Mustang GT. (He also has a 1972 Mach 1.) He's going to have to park the new Mustang in the driveway for the winter. We live in PA, so we'll have cold snowy weather. Is there anything special I should consider when looking for a cover? I've seen the brand Covercraft pop up a lot on websites, but thought I'd ask the real experts.
I'll have him logon in the introduction thread soon with pictures and specs.
I appreciate any suggestions!

I don't know what is a good cover, I hope someone else can comment on that . . . but a word of caution:
The car must be very very clean before you put a cover on it, if the car is stored outdoors. If there is any sand, salt, grit, or worse yet slush on the car, the cover can do more harm than good, because it will scrub all that stuff all over the paint when it moves around in the wind.
