Best soft cover (to stop sun, not rain)?

I'm looking for a fluffy-soft custom fit cover for the 2011 4Runner. I don't mind if it gets wet as long as it dries fairly quickly. I mainly want to limit the dust accumulation so I don't have to wash the vehicle as often. (It's black.) Can anyone here recommend a cover?

California car cover in Chatsworth Ca check out there web site. I have used the "NOAH" fabric its soft but heavy when wet, dries in a day of good weather.
Just a FYI the cover will scratch the paint if the car is not clean prior to installing the cover.
Also taking the cover on and off is a pain if you do it daily. If its not a daily driver then covers work well for storage when the car is not in use.
When it rains you need to put it back on the car to dry. not Fun.

I have had many of these covers but non on a daily driver, and non on a SUV ( because of the height of the truck).
You might be better off getting a "California duster" and using it to maintain the finish.

What Rack said. I've seen my share of cars ruined by bras. With a cover ... it's gonna move with the wind and that dust is going to become lapping compound.

I have a 1/2 mile of gravel/talcum powder road to get to pavement. You wanna talk dust!? What I do is blow the truck off with my shop vac with the big hose necked down with the tool adapter to get velocity. Then use a California Duster and a natural bristle paint brush. The brush is for the nooks and crannies.

Black is a hobby. Amen! One that keeps on givin'. HAH! Good luck!

BTW. This probably ain't gonna help much for sun protection. Sorry.
