It is not recommended to cover a wet car. If you trap water under the cover and then the sun later comes out, it will cause all kinds of problem. Not to mention it's difficult to dry a car cover.
If you car has light dust, you should with it down with a buffing towel and a detail spray. A good duster will also work. Under no circumstances should you ever cover a dirty car. It will cause more damage than it does good.
Also, if it's windy outside, remove your car cover. Constant flapping of the cover on your paint will also cause problems.
I recently started a Car Cover Guide. I plan to add several more sections, including how to properly cover and uncover your car. As mentioned above, the proper technique is to roll/fold it... back to center, front to center, then left to right. This creates a nice package that's then easy to unfold.
