Suggestion
As for a padded car cover, I've never heard of one, and I would imagine it would be hugely unwieldy to use/store.

Since your car is indoors, I recommend using a flannel lined cover.

My lot doesn't have any corners to hide in but I park in between condo units where other people don't and use my wife's car as a buffer on the side of the larger unit.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

am relocating to a condo in march and will now be parking in "shared" underground lot.
would like to do what I can to prevent any scratches/door rubs (sides of the car now are pristine).
any recommendations re protective car cover that would offer padded sides, or has anyone modified a car cover in this fashion.
all input appreciated.

Just hide in a corner. My lot doesn't have any corners to hide in but I park in between condo units where other people don't and use my wife's car as a buffer on the side of the larger unit. The only dent I've ever gotten has been from someone at work so what can you do?
Besides, if you're in a nicer neighborhood, people will generally be more careful because they don't want to hurt their cars either.
As for a padded car cover, I've never heard of one, and I would imagine it would be hugely unwieldy to use/store. You're talking about something that's at least 200 square feet and a quarter to half of an inch thick, that would be annoying as all get out.
at a show once I saw a guy who had these large padded things stuck (magnets) to the sides of his car... I thought "thats a good idea"
then I thought, "wonder how much those cost?"
then I thought, they are free.....thats a stupid product!!!

these are the biggest ones I have found... and for protection, bigger is better IMO
or the tesla coil
The one dent my car has gotten is in the concave part of the door, where I wouldn't put that dent-guard. No, I don't know how anyone could have made that dent, don't even ask I'll just get upset.
Still, that's a pretty cool product, why didn't I think of that?!
I lived in a building with cars parked on both sides. I went to an upholstery shop and bought two long pieces of thick foam and attached string to both ends with small rubber ***** on the ends. Place the ***** in the trunk and hood and close. Holds the foam in place (did I mention cheap option?).
Since your car is indoors, I recommend using a flannel lined cover. It's slight thicker than the standard cotton cover, I purchased mine from Auto Chic.
