It is called, blushing. It is caused when a damp cover is on painted surfaces and the sun heats the cover. In most cases, leave the car out in the sun and the blushing usually fades away in a few days. Do not wax it any more.....wax will slow the process of the paint blushing working out of the finish....takes a week or two. This has nothing to do with the brand of cover. In the future, remove the cover after a rain storm and let it dry out on a clothesline. Clean and dry the car before re-installing. I get all my covers from California Car Cover and the provided use instructions caution of this exact situation......leaving the car out in the sun is their recommendation and I have seen the blush disappear on other cars that experienced your situation.

I wish I knew that before I tried to wet sand it out. Hopefully this will help someone in the future so thank you for your comment! I pinned it.

Seal Skin Covers... waterproof vinyl outside, microfiber/felt inside... fit to YOUR car or truck. Via their instruction; Step one: Wash/clean your car. Thats literally their first step in how to put your car cover on. Not doing it, dirt, debris etc will rub and cause scratches etc If you did clean it and it still did it, pay a detail guy to do it right and then cut/buff your clear coat lol

I definitely washed it every time I put the cover back on the car. Sadly Mitsubishi used single stage paint on these cars lol. But I will try a really light wet sand with 3k grit and buff. What’s the worst that can happen now? 😅

@@WasleySchultz true which is why my father bought a seal skin car cover and had put it on my mother’s Mitsubishi suv that had just had the font end except the fenders and Orem over fenders he had just washed and dried the suv very light and breathable not heavy and layered and doesn’t damage the paint of the suv but doesn’t fit because the car has been fitted with a fully functional aftermarket off road snorkel and aftermarket wheels but I will soon not fit once mother has a roof rack fitted and the Suv lifted a little bit

Thank you for posting this!!!

Of course! I just wanted something to protect from mostly the sun and now I need a new paint job.

These cheaper car covers are really only ok for short term use, a few days at most. Past that you're always risking damage with these cheaper non-breathable, "waterproof" covers. There are two main points of damage from car covers, abrasion damage, and chemical damage. Abrasion damage comes from dirt particles trapped between the paint and cover and over time act like a sandpaper on your finish. Even if you washed your car prior to placing the cover, by the time you finish the wash and get the cover on, some dust will settle on the paint, or already exist on the cover. That's not inclusing any dust that gets blown under the cover while it's on the car. Whether by wind, or heat and humidity lifting it directly from under the car. Chemical damage comes from heat and humidity/moisture. Because things can get under the cover, and/or could already be on your paint unless you fully decontaminated the paint. Even if you just washed it...unless you did a full decon, you'll still have minerals, brake dust and iron particles, minerals from acid rains, or even pollen that was already on it before you placed the cover, or pollen that blew under with the cover on. All those things by themselves aren't great. But when combined with moisture and/or heat, become more reactive. Pollen especially becomes acidic when combined with moisture. That's not even mentioning that with cheaper covers we often don't know the chemistry of the underlayment in contact with the paint, or any chemical treatment it might have had. Which also can react with your paint, when moisture and heat are present. Any protection you might have had on the car can also become more reactive due to the same processes...That's why long term storage, covers aren't a great idea, unless it's a really quality cover, that breathable, and the car was properly prepped before hand. Best solution is to keep it indoors, or under some kind of roof, with at most a light breathable car cover.

The cover was temporary while I got my other car back on the road. This car lives in the garage. It wasn’t going to be a permanent solution.

Thanks for your review, Wasley. Sorry your car's paint got ruined. Good luck in the future.

Hello, Im sorry. Do you thik it can be all about the car cover being "impervious"? I mean, perhaps himidity can not get out. But really, my guess that would require a long period of time to cause that damage. Is it humid over there? Was it rainy since the day one you put that cover on your car?

It gets very humid where I am yes. This happened after a few days of nice weather and it wasn’t very humid. You’re right though I believe this cover is not breathable.

@@WasleySchultz Hello again. I think there is hope for you. Yesterday I wrote here a link to another video, another guy got the same problem as you and he fixed it with a heat gun, you know, like the ones for hair. He says it can be fixed allowing your car under direct sun several days in a row. "White spots on the car paint after the car was under the cover and recent rain" thats the video. Wonder why my comment was deleted but I want to help. Im experiencing the same problem as you.

@bambampepe it was a little rough yes. Which is why I thought it burned itself in to the paint.

I had a cover from this same company and it left swirls all over the car and on any areas where the cover was tighter to the body, it left scuffs similar to if you wet sanded with 1500 grit sand paper. My wife and I received them as a gift and I ended up hounding their customer service department enough to get them both returned. We were absolutely dissatisfied with the quality as all it did was required a paint correction to be done.

A $149.99 car cover is nothing to pay for a quality car cover. I plan on purchasing a "Superwave" cover from "California Car Cover" for my 2024 Subaru Forester. It's pricey at $612.00. I've had this cover in the past with no issues. Only downside is the current cost.

@WasleySchultz

Ай бұрын

$150 is not nothing. For some people that’s a lot of money! Including myself.

The word "waterproof" was your 1st mistake. A car cover needs to be able to breath. Being Waterproof does not allow any moisture to evaporate.

i dont think its a car cover issue all videos and instructions for car covers say do not put and forge t.check regularily , so i wouldnt ever put a cover on a car put it outside and hope everything with moisture and sun and etc go ok... you said u put it for one month so i guess something happened in between and the cover you got doesnt have holes for moisture to get out.

You have really explained the damage well enough. Has it actually eaten into, or through. The clearcoat? Grab a plastic bag and run your hand over it, also try running a fingernail lightly over the damaged spot. Does it feel like the damaged portion is raised? Or does it feel like it actually drops below the regular painted finish? Or does it just feel kinda rough with no clear lip on either side?

@@BigBear-- sadly these cars do not have clear coat so it ate through the finish. Mitsubishi uses single stage for paint on these cars. It did not come out even with 2k grit wet sand (another video I made after this.)
