i only use mine in the winter time to keep snow/ice and junk off of it. summer time i haven't used it yet. i got some kmart ghetto universal car cover. but it gets the job done. pretty sure it'll help the paint/leather from fading.

buy front window cover from walmart and the pull down shades you stick to your windows.

I just have the front window covers from walmart to protect the dash. As for the paint, my paint is only in decent condition (original paint) so i just have it parked in the shade as much as possible/ I always have my car washed once sometimes twice a week and have it waxed once every new season.

Window covers do work to keep heat out and protect the dash. I think you'll just be boiling the inside of your car with a car cover because the covers does not reflect the sun light off the car (at least not that i know of).

Wax it and throw it under a cover, nothing will happen to your car if you do that.
