    I had the same thing happen a number of years ago but not the same circumstances that you encountered. I tried a number of steps to get the moisture out ofthe clear to no avail. The clear coat will absorb moisture and the only cure is to repaint
    Appended below are the report of my detail:-

    this is a E90 330i Coupe..



    the owner upon returning from overseas after 3 days, as he need to attend some urgent meeting. Discover that he forgetten to park his ride in, out of the kind heart of the domestic help, she cover the owner beloved ride with the car cover.




    to the owner surprise, he was shocked to see these milky stain on his paint, as he tries to remove them by all kind of product, polish & rubbing compound he has but failed?




    adding to this heart ache, is that he cant bear to drive this ride across down to Singapore?




    the feeling of lost & anger. Captivated him thru out the night

    Water Damage from Car Cover-Check these Pictures
    Hi,
    I have a 99 Purple Prowler which is left outsde with an Evolution 4 car cover and with a tarp over the cover. I took both off only to discover a large stain, milky-colored (about the 15" diameter)on the hood. I brought to a detailer who attempted to buff it out, without luck. I then brought it to a body shop, who has rarely seen this, but talked about the stain baking through and possibly attacking the clear coat, and would need to refinish the hood. Any ideas on commercially available cleaners I can try before going through this hassle and expense? Any suggestions are welcome! Here is the url for the pictures:




    I thought it might be good to share this & pre warn all car owners & lovers of
    The danger of Car covers?.



    more milky stains



    Lets think twice before placing any car covers on your beloved car

    Live life to its fullness

    Very interesting thread. You live in an extreme climate by the sounds of it and I guess that comes with its own challenges. You did a nice job restoring the paint. Not an easy job.
