A clean car is the BEST time to use a car cover IMO ... Dirt can be scratched across the car installing and removing the cover
I Prefer this cover : http://www.carcapsule.com/ is it has air blowing it from touching the car

You do have to be careful when using a car cover. It does scratch. My Dakota cover is just to big to manage. I also notice that there is some residue that gets on the truck if left under the cover for any length of time. It would need a wipe down by an exterior detailer to clean it up.

i cover the demon every night, and the stratus gets covered all winter...when i cover the stratus for winter, before doing so i wash it very well, and put a fresh coat of wax on it. ive noticed that from the wind, the cover "W***les" a bit and leaves ligth scuff marks at a few spots, so where those spots are we have put bedsheets under the cover. the demon cover is so snug that it cant move around, but i do make sure that the car is clean before putting the cover on it.

i think putting a car cover on the car is not bad because now you won't dare drive it to work and face doing that much work again.
