What is a good car cover for under $50. Any recommendation and link is greatly appreciated. Thank you

I seriously doubt you'll find a decent cover for $50

For relative ease of handling choose a cover with a fabric weight of between 4-7 oz per sq. yd. Used for long-term vehicle storage, either in the garage or outdoors, car covers protect against accidental scratches and dings from passers-by, car doors, lawn mowers, sporting equipment, bikes and pets.

Yea, don't cheap out on a car cover. I bought one at Autuozone for cheap and it's terrible.

Don't recommend

Particularly under $50

They tend to scratch paint

Ive bought their Noah type cover for 2 different cars. Custom fit, heavy, thick, soft, very protectant. Only problem with it its not good when ice forms on it. Snow melting then icing causes it to stick to car.

They also have other types for different situations.

The listing ended but the product is still available from other listings. The cover seems like a good deal.
