<DIV><FONT size=2>Covering with anything (other than air ...) is going to
risk the same think happening again. Dragging a cover over a car that has
any dust particles on the paint risks those tiny marks as dust is
abrasive. Rolling the cover on is better but still not completely
immune. I have a thick cotton cover that I'd put on the soft top, which
had been folded in such a way that I could unfold the front, back and sides to
lay it on the panels rather than dragging it. But I've not used that for
many years, I found that over winter in the garage it would prevent air moving
around and the interior got musty and even slight green mould on the steering
wheel. Now in winter I leave the windows open and the roadster
top up just in case the flat roof should start to leak as they all do
eventually. Over time and use a layer of dust builds up and in low
sunlight through the side window it really shows up, but on 30 year-old paint it
doesn't really bother me and it just washes off prior to an event anyway.
That paint has always shown the dust, it seems to attract it, whereas the
V8 repainted a couple of years ago seems to stay dust-free. I still
wouldn't drag a cover over it though.</FONT></DIV>
