Abstract: A retractable vehicle cover for protecting the outer surface of a vehicle. The retractable vehicle cover has a housing, which contains a front and a rear reel assembly. Each reel assembly has a spring-loaded reel and a protective sheet wound around the reel. The sheets are extended as needed for covering and protecting both the front end and the rear end of the vehicle. The housing has a plurality of rubber suction cups for selective attachment of the housing to the roof of the vehicle. The housing has two shaft mounting brackets, for holding and supporting two telescopically adjustable shafts. The shafts are selectively extendable horizontally, between the sides of the vehicle, one toward the front and the other towards the rear of the vehicle, to support the front and rear protective sheets at an elevated position above the upper surface of the vehicle.
