Do you leave the car inside or outside? If you leave it outside, you are crazy to put a cover on your car--it will do nothing but scratch your car. If you leave it inside, Noah covers are really good and moderately priced. But you shouldn't even use one of those except on a clean car.

If your car is dirty and you put the car cover on no matter how soft it is, it may scratch your paint. On a very windy day if sand or dirt get under the car cover it may damage your paint.
I have the Mitsu car cover and also park out side; I have had no problems yet. I just make sure the car is cleaned before the car cover goes on. My car is near some trees and my old car got killed with tree sap. I also didn’t want the sun beating on my car all the time when it wasn’t in use.

In fact the cover is made to spec by Cover Craft using a material which Cover Craft does not list on their own web site. I subsequently found that Cover Craft makes covers for a number of other companies using various materials specified by the firm in question.
Oh I also agree with many of the comments posted above.
Never cover a dirty car.
If it is windy and the cover is anything but very snug around the car don't use the cover.
If the paint is still soft on the car don't use a cover of any kind.
Some car cover materials can scratch the paint. Cotton doesn't. I can't comment on others.
In general I have used 100% cotton covers for many users with no damage following the rules cited above. The covers have faded with sun but the cars' paint looked great. Better the cover than the paint....
