ok maybe one of the most unusual of gifts but still yesterday i was given a car cover from my bf.
its one from argos.

ok question is...will it ruin the paint work on my car?
coz have been told stories of car covers bleaching the car etc...

basically will my car paint be safe if i put this cover on it?

Some covers have quite a hard inside to them , my mate left one on his old car for a while and it rubbed the paint of the corners... make sure it is soft inside and make sure its on there tight, so no movement for rubbing!!
