car cover worries
i work on a boat and sometimes leave my car parked along the waterfront . i was using a car cover,not sure what brand,but it seems to be made to fit c5 corvetts, any way it has been raining alot in the afternoon and getting really hot again, we have been working in the area so when i had some spar time i went to take a spin. as im taking the cover off i can tell its stuck to the paint. well it didnt appear to have hurt the paint but one of the emblems on the front came off with the cover, my question is does anyone know of a car cover that wont do that....thanks

I store my car outside and have been using a cover for three years.
I currently use a cover by CoverKing. They make excellent covers and they stand behind their products. There are several fabrics available. As with any cover manufacturer, get the fabric that best meets your needs. The manufacturer web sites will describe the fabrics and what they do best. I saw a CoverKing sale on this forum the other day by a forum vendor... he had good prices, you may want to do a search for "Cover King"
A few other suggestions from lessons I learned:
1) Make sure to snug down the cover. If it blows in the wind, it will scuff the paint
2) Make sure the car is clean when you cover it. Dirt between the cover and the paint will act like sandpaper.
Good luck..
