Re: Dealing with Dust on "Garage Queen"
You can get a Car Bag at Carbag.com If I recall correctly, they are in the $300 range. I’ve had mine for about twenty years.
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

They make some thin inexpensive covers for construction and painting companies. Check with some large painting contractors or waterproofing companies that use spray guns and need to cover cars.
These covers are light weight and cheap, think throw aways.

You can get a rinseless wash done in about 15 mins. Id just recommend doing one of those.

Re: Dealing with Dust on "Garage Queen"
[QUOTE=MIsnowman;1682639]Yep that’s a black truck under there.
Not necessarily looking for a cheap solution and certainly not looking for a magic pill. Just wanted to get others’ ideas about what might work or not work to help reduce the amount of dust on the truck. I had thought about bed sheets also, but from past experience on snowmobiles, some dust always manages to get through the sheet.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's the problem with a car cover, and no matter how careful you are removing it and installing it, has to be either rolled up, or folded up without the cover then hitting the floor.
Thus when such is done, the outside of the cover, which will likely be as dirty and dusty as your Truck appears to be in the photo will contact and contaminate the inside of the cover no matter how good, or how expensive a cover it is.
Yes, Covercraft does make a specific "Duststop" Cover, and it is no doubt better at restricting pass through of dusts versus my earlier suggestion of lightweight bed sheets.
But if you'll then find a need to then wash that cover every time you remove, and prior to re-installing it, that's going to get old real quick. Plus these large Covers to fit a full size Pickup Truck are not that "small", and one might then find it quite difficult or close to impossible to launder in a regular home sized washing machine.
The heavier duty car covers do get pretty bulky. I found that out with 2 car covers I had-have for my Tahoe, first the Covercraft NOAH, then the Covercraft Weathershield HD. I then resorted to using a used plastic 55 gallon Car Wash Soap Drum with a Ball Cock Drain installed at its bottom for manual hand washing of these Covers. (Cut the top off) Then hanging to air dry because there was no Laundermats in my town that had large enough commercial sized washers and dryers available.
Was why I thought lighter bed sheets would be much easier to deal with as far as laundering was concerned.
Plus the good custom fitted covers are going to cost some good money as well. Likely $500-$600.
Hope some of these thoughts help you.

Re: Dealing with Dust on "Garage Queen"
The simplest no cost option would be to simply remove the vehicle when using your garage for shop projects.
Something like say using an Air Compressor with Blower Attachment to then blow off dusts would likely make matters even more messy. Plus you surely don't wish to be breathing those dusts, or getting them all over you.

I would also suggest a thin cover, but with one addition - get two microfiber sheets, sew them together, and use that as your 'base' and put the cover over them. The MF sheets help the cover from rubbing on the paint.

Re: Dealing with Dust on "Garage Queen"
Stupid question but where could we find huge microfiber for those type of covers?
