Default WANTED - Car cover for D2

As per title, I'm looking for any recommendations for a decent quality car cover for my d2 s8.

I've eventually managed to find some permanent storage so will be nicely holed up inside throughout the year but I still want a protection there from any other crud etc that may sit on the paint etc, especially seeing as I've just had the bonnet and front end resprayed.

maintenance charger is also on standby so that it doesn't go flat

Had a few Audis over the years, mostly early stuff, newest was a D3 prior to my D4, nothing much kept me smitten with other marques so I floated about a bit from one thing to another until that four ring lure caught hold

I've got a decent big car cover going spare, can't recall the make but it was from a recommendation on here IIRC. Had minimal use.

Since I had my S8 ceramic coated and its parked outside all year anyway, I just wash it very occasionally.
I was also advised that putting a cover on outside, where it will get disturbed by weather and condensation can build up underneath, is probably doing more harm than good.

Found mine in the garage, it's bag is a bit tatty but the cover is fine. Just laid it out in the sun to check it's OK. And work out which end is which....

It fits fine even with the mirrors out.
