This brings up the question of how long should be wait before using a cover ?

Talk to your painter, could take several months for the paint to cure all the way through. Get it out in the hot sun as soon as the weather warms up.

I have a cover that came with car, has the NPD logo on the front. Seems like a good cover. Waffle like fabric, very soft and it does breath so it won't hold moisture. I don't put it on it as often as I should.

My painter told me to wait 4 months, and also get it in the warm sun to help get the gases out of the paint so it will cure. I have just had a flanel sheet on it and it has been about 3 months. I hoping to get it out in the sun in the next few weeks. I have been told also don't wax it until its been in the sun.
