Since I keep my Miata outdoors, I ran into a similar dilema. I called 

Performance Buyers Club and they called Kimberly-Clark (the cover maker). 

They told them how I keep my Miata outdoors in New England all the time 

and needed something for nightly cover and daytime cover at work, that 

would work well against the elements. They recommended the NOAH cover, 

which PBC got me at a pretty good price (I forget exactly, but it was 

cheaper than the fancier techalon cover they carry).



I now use a NOAH Car Cover every night and during the day at work. Works 

fantastic. Since I park outside, it protects the car from all the 

elements pretty good. No complaints. Car keeps as if new, shinny clean.



One additional thing I do, is that I got one of those "California 

Dusters" and I quickly wipe down the Miata before covering it. That way 

any attached dirt will not scratch the car when covered. Total time 

including wiping to put cover on, 2 minutes. 1:30 to remove it and store 

in trunk.
