OEM car cover waterproof?

My car sits outside Monday-Friday and I've noticed that my current car cover is letting water through and holds in moisture. I got it for $20 at Walmart.

I am curious if the OEM car cover is 100% waterproof? I like how the OEM cover is a tight fit and has better material. Anyone want to comment?

No car cover should be waterproof, as that would trap moisture against your car. I have an OEM cover and it will allow the car to get wet, but it dries very quickly. I think it is made from Technalon Evolution 4 fabric.

a good car cover should be breathable.

if youre looking for weatherproof/waterproof, go to home depot and get a dropcloth or tarpe. Better yet, find a garage
