I use Porsche's silverguard cover mostly in the winter but would have no problem using it if my car is gonna sit in the sun for a few days. It's a great cover... I think I payed $100-$150 but I got a good deal on it from ebay.

It isn't just UV that is an issue here in SOCAL. Crap in the air will etch your finish no matter what you wax it with. Moreover, the impact of bird and insect droppings is signifcant.

I would NOT have an issue with a light, custom fit cover. I DO think using the heavier covers on a dail basis would not be advisable and I would stick with custom fit.

Lastly, a cover will handle the UV issue for body and top at the same time.

IMHO! Good luck.

Waxes/glazes do not protect you re: the pocketbooks/briefcase factor from people in the car next to you... the cover does (at least to some extent). The cover on mine has stopped stuff in the garage from doing damage several times now... I can only imagine what that rake would have done to the finish without the cover.
