That hurt my brain.

So you have the option to park in the garage?

That or the garage if you have one.

The less the elements, bird ****, etc have a chance to blast the paint, the better.

Can't help it when driving, but if its just sitting around, best to keep it covered

putting on and off a car cover every day is just as bad as not covering it, you will scratch the paint eventually with the cover. the water will if left to sit will etch your paint with water spots too eventually.

If its a daily driver, I recommend a really good coat of wax. if its not daily driven then the car cover may not be a bad idea either.

but if you have a garage, get r done son! move her inside

I only use my car cover right after washing and drying my car so no debris gets caught under the cover.

wet car + car cover = rust.
