James -

There is more information you should provide before a recommendation
can be made.

If you are looking for a car cover to use in your garage and you don't
live in a high humidity climate or area, then a standard flannel
cotton cover available from most companies is your best bet (like
Moss).  Many synthetic covers claim to be soft on paint, but I haven't
seen one yet that is any better than a flannel cotton cover, plus the
flannel ones a cheaper.

If you live in a high humidity area and will be storing your car for a
long time in the garage, you should get an anti-rust style car
jacket/bag.  California Car Cover Company makes a very good one:

In general you don't want the blow-up drive-in type carcoons because
they simply suck in all the humidity into the carcoon as the car cools
down... it's a massive humidity suck and won't keep out the rust.

Hope that helps,

Regards,

Alan
