[TR] Covering a newly painted car

[Wbeech]

Teriann,
Did you use the type of shrink-wrap that they seal up boats with for the
winter?  Did you use any additional padding over the cover and under the wrap
to protect the front of the car from any road gravel?

The soft car cover was on the body and the wrap never touched the body except
for the underside.  It seemed to work OK.  The paint was not new but I was
concerned about flying debris and night time visitors. No one tried to unwrap
the car to see what was underneath and nothing got through the wrap.  It takes
2 people & lots of wrap to cocoon a TR.
