Looking for an interior car cover
I had my car in for paint correction, ceramic coating about 1.5 years ago when I bought the car. They don't recommend using car covers nor a California Duster but I am going crazy with my car. It is always garaged and driven about 3500 miles a year. I wash it every 2 weeks due to the amount of dust collected on the paint from just sitting in the garage. Although the shop doesn't recommend one I am seriously contemplating buying one to keep the car covered to reduce the amount of dust that accumulates on the car. Does anyone have a really soft, good quality indoor cover they recommend? I thought I saw some posts on the topic but performed a search and came up with nothing.

Covercraft is a good brand. Expensive though. They currently don't have any covers in their CLEARANCE section either.

In pre-pandemic days I've purchased generic indoor covers for the same purpose as you. But then, you could touch & feel before buying, to get the softness that you want.
Also, for an indoor, closed garage, why pay more for a fitted cover? Amazon has a good selection, and you can return anything that feels too 'scratchy'.

Just ordered this one- I had an identical one on my corvette for 12 years- 5 years with CQuartz ceramic coating on the car and never had a problem. But the converible top did get a bit of lint on from the cover.

Dust can 'leak' in around windows and doors. Dust 'sheds' from inside... ever wonder why the inside of your house gets dusty? When I built my wood kayak, I hung damp bedsheets over the doors to keep dust from settling in the epoxy and then on the varnish. We have subsequently replaced all the service doors to this garage. We live on a lake and more often than not, lots of SW/W and NW winds, 10-15-20 mph. I chose a cover that could be washed. We have a large, front load washer that easily accommodates its size. The other cover we have might be a Covercraft, a knit material exterior and soft inside, ordered with the Corvette that we bought. I usually put the cover with the soft inside on the clean car, either washed or meticulously dusted off with a Car duster. Then, I put one of those breathable car covers, like the ones you might find at a big box store over that. I try to wash the soft-inside cover at least once a month, then let it hang dry. The Covercraft dries quickly in the dryer on a medium setting. The other thing to consider is the amount of dry air you have which increases static electricity. Your car is then, an attractant to dust. Here in Wisconsin we have an average 36% humidity in colder months and 80-90 % in warmer months. Here is a link to a product that reduces the static on your car:
