[wolfe]

I'm thinking of getting a car cover because it looks like I'm getting fallout landing on my car and messing up the paint.

I think I've got an ok one picked out, it's a good combination of price/fit and perhaps even material (breathable stormshield which is supposedly soft on the inside).

I've never used an outdoor cover on a regular basis before, the only experience I've had is using a cheap non vehicle specific one to cover a car while it was off the road for a few months.

I know it's nowhere near as good as parking somewhere covered, but I guess I need to go with the lesser of two evils. Right now the car has contamination marks on it within a week of washing/waxing.

I have a couple of questions though..

1) can I safely put the cover on if it's raining or if the car's wet?

2) Is it a terrible idea to cover/uncover a car which isn't spotlessly clean?

Any advice would be great, thanks in advance.
