Unhappy Car Cover

I am using a car cover to protect my new car and i ve noticed that whenever moisture is trapped under the cover for a certain period of time the paint is clouding on some spots. I have Klasse AIO + SG on my car. It is strange, but this clouding cannot be taken away with polishing. It goes away however by itself after some time when the weather gets better or when the sun comes out for a few days ... Is it possible that the moisture and wax are interacting with the cars clear coat? Can this clouding do a permanent damage on the clear coat or is it something i should not be so afraid?

sounds bad....you must have a non breathable cover! ive used a breathable one and not yet had any moisture issues even when it ha snow on for several days

my advice would be to stop using that cover...the damp may cause blistering

theres plenty of safe breathable covers out there that wont harm the finish
