I've owned all three types of car cover material:

cotton/polyester - OEM Honda
If used outdoors, lasts like 2 years, soft on the finish, need to wash frequently

NOAH - synthetic, "thick" material, same technology as pampers diapers
Thickness a real asset in handling under windy conditions, soft on the finish
Lasts like 4 years, then deteriorates by turning to dust

Weathershield - Gore-tex imitation
Water beads up, but not 100% waterproof, still gets wet underneath during rain.
Sheds dirt well, and stays cleanest the longest. Of course it costs like 25% more
than Noah, which is already higher than cotton/poly. Light and compact, and
so far mine have lasted over 6 years. My personal favorite, but costs over
$250.

The S2000 is my first convertible, and have used covers on hardtop cars
for many years. I'm not happy with the "buffing" that the car cover is doing
to my convertible top, it "buffs" the spots where the convertible ribs stretch
the top material. It makes them shiny, and I have a 2007 that's only
6 months old. I'm considering not using the cover for this reason - and I"m
using the Weathershield. The NOAH will also "buff" the finish more than
the Weathershield from my experience with a NOAH on my del Sol - it's
rubbed the clearcoat down in a few spots. Note, I use the cover daily, since
I don't have an enclosed garage.

So, I have mixed feelings about recommending any cover for convertible's
from my expereience. For hardtops, I have no problems.

 

yeah i dont have garage space somtimes and i leave it outside it seems to work good but i just got it this summer so we'll see when rainy season comes

 

haha oh okay. i thought you were selling your car??

 

This is the original honda car cover for like 170 or so.

So, the honda cover is still OK to leave out in the rain? CAuse I know it would happen a few times.

 

i've done it a few times. it's not water proof so your car will get wet but it'll cover it from like sap and that kind of thing if that's one of your bigger concerns. if you're looking for something that's waterproof, the ones from kragen are fine. I got one for my audi from kragens and it was a waterproof one. it was like 98% waterproof since there was some moist spots.

 

I got mine @ Costco. It's a bit large but does it's job for $30.

 

$30.00? Is it waterproof or resistant, and does it have a cut out hole for the antenae?
