Dirt inside the cover is a cause of fine scratches swirls and spiderwebs....

I'm covering mine this afternoon. I washed it last night, and plan on two coats of Zaino today. I think that answers your question.

Use some Maguiars NXT detailer if it is not too dirty and then use the cover. This works fine for me in S. Calif.

Why would I cover the car when dirty? It takes away the purpose of covering in the first place.

No, never.
If it's dirty it'll stay uncovered in the garage until I have time to clean it properly, which isn't usually that long.
