Big difference! .....
Call Cal Car Cover Co and ask them if their covers are WaterProof or Water Resistant. Nowhere on their website does it say waterproof!

I understand the sales/liability issues of saying your cover is "waterproof" as compared to the very nice safety net that "water repellant/resistant" offers. And that is exactly what it is. The California Car Cover which is (agreeing with you here) advertised as water repellent in the designs specific to outdoor use are for all intents and purposes WATER PROOF. You see if they advertise as water proof, then it better be like a wet suit where the interior item remains completely dry or they get sued. Water repellent/resistant gives a great deal of legal latitude.
I have an open car with no top whatsoever (the spyder) We've had to leave it out in the rain when traveling. Not unusual for the passenger area to "pool up" several GALLONS of water. Lift the cover in the center to dump the water on the ground, remove the cover not one drop, not one single drop on the interior. Yes, I spent over $300 for it, but this cover is worth every penny.
Some advertisers over rate their products. A good maker UNDER rates them. California Car Cover is a good company. Call them on the phone, tell them how you are storing the vehicle and they will help you choose the best cover.
By the way, I do have a "water repellent/resistant" car cover from another manufacturer. It is custom cut and was pretty expensive Noah fabric. The cover is soaking wet in the rain and dust travels through it. Should have spent a little more and bought the "water repellent/resistant" California Car Cover model. I would have been $$ ahead.
