Umm....did that many years ago.  Covers while towing takes off the paint..
Just give it up.
Either rent a closed trailer or take the slow back roads.

Any wind blown dirt/sand getting between the cover and the car = sandpaper.

I will pick up a freshly painted body on a rolling chassis next week and have
to haul it on an open trailer 600 miles.  I would like to cover the car to
avoid gravel impacts or other damage during the drive.  Any suggestions?  I
donbt have a snug-fitting car cover.  An acquaintance suggested buying a
roll of 6mil plastic and wrapping the car with that, secured by duct tape on
the plastic.

Thanks for any help,

Cliff
