Can it be fixed? Have you been in this situation? 😭

It is called, blushing. It is caused when a damp cover is on painted surfaces and the sun heats the cover. In most cases, leave the car out in the sun and the blushing usually fades away in a few days. Do not wax it any will slow the process of the paint blushing working out of the finish....takes a week or two.
This has nothing to do with the brand of cover. In the future, remove the cover after a rain storm and let it dry out on a clothesline. Clean and dry the car before re-installing.
I get all my covers from California Car Cover and the provided use instructions caution of this exact the car out in the sun is their recommendation and I have seen the blush disappear on other cars that experienced your situation.

Seal Skin Covers... waterproof vinyl outside, microfiber/felt inside... fit to YOUR car or truck. Via their instruction; Step one: Wash/clean your car. Thats literally their first step in how to put your car cover on. Not doing it, dirt, debris etc will rub and cause scratches etc If you did clean it and it still did it, pay a detail guy to do it right and then cut/buff your clear coat lol

The word "waterproof" was your 1st mistake. A car cover needs to be able to breath. Being Waterproof does not allow any moisture to evaporate.

Thanks for your review, Wasley. Sorry your car's paint got ruined. Good luck in the future.

What kind of acorn was that a 10 pounder?

Thanks for this review. I almost ordered a cover from this company. I understand the limitations of a car cover but their response convinced me not to buy from them.

I got a cover from them for my 02 SE Miata. Currently have the same problem all over the hood of my car and it won’t come out. Tried letting it sit in the sun for a couple days and buffing it out with some compound and nothing. Probably gonna have to get the hood repainted and I’m beyond upset about it.

These cheaper car covers are really only ok for short term use, a few days at most. Past that you're always risking damage with these cheaper non-breathable, "waterproof" covers. There are two main points of damage from car covers, abrasion damage, and chemical damage. Abrasion damage comes from dirt particles trapped between the paint and cover and over time act like a sandpaper on your finish. Even if you washed your car prior to placing the cover, by the time you finish the wash and get the cover on, some dust will settle on the paint, or already exist on the cover. That's not inclusing any dust that gets blown under the cover while it's on the car. Whether by wind, or heat and humidity lifting it directly from under the car. Chemical damage comes from heat and humidity/moisture. Because things can get under the cover, and/or could already be on your paint unless you fully decontaminated the paint. Even if you just washed it...unless you did a full decon, you'll still have minerals, brake dust and iron particles, minerals from acid rains, or even pollen that was already on it before you placed the cover, or pollen that blew under with the cover on. All those things by themselves aren't great. But when combined with moisture and/or heat, become more reactive. Pollen especially becomes acidic when combined with moisture. That's not even mentioning that with cheaper covers we often don't know the chemistry of the underlayment in contact with the paint, or any chemical treatment it might have had. Which also can react with your paint, when moisture and heat are present. Any protection you might have had on the car can also become more reactive due to the same processes...That's why long term storage, covers aren't a great idea, unless it's a really quality cover, that breathable, and the car was properly prepped before hand. Best solution is to keep it indoors, or under some kind of roof, with at most a light breathable car cover.

i dont think its a car cover issue all videos and instructions for car covers say do not put and forge t.check regularily, so i wouldnt ever put a cover on a car put it outside and hope everything with moisture and sun and etc go ok... you said u put it for one month so i guess something happened in between and the cover you got doesnt have holes for moisture to get out.

[idkilketurbos]

I had a cover from this same company and it left swirls all over the car and on any areas where the cover was tighter to the body, it left scuffs similar to if you wet sanded with 1500 grit sand paper. My wife and I received them as a gift and I ended up hounding their customer service department enough to get them both returned. We were absolutely dissatisfied with the quality as all it did was required a paint correction to be done.

[Engineerboy]

Dude, you ruined your car, not them!

[nicholasesposito]

Same cover damaged my paint on roof and hood

[bambampepe]

Hello, Im sorry. Do you thik it can be all about the car cover being "impervious"? I mean, perhaps himidity can not get out. But really, my guess that would require a long period of time to cause that damage. Is it humid over there? Was it rainy since the day one you put that cover on your car?

[ronalddean]

@wasleyschultz I appreciate you sharing this with us. I have one car cover, but have not used it in a while. Sorry to see your situation. Has it gotten any better as of the end of July? I read down on the comments and lots of good information especially from @BigBear. I have looked at car covers in all price ranges, from $39, which I would never buy, up to $1, 000. The company claims are all glowing! Yet, as I am learning, it is not a good experience for some. I remember seeing a post on a Mercedes forum, where the the member said he always removes the cover after a rain to dry it out. Well, that makes sense, but think about it, what about early spring, when we get the weeks of, rain on and rain off. Leave the house at 8:30 a.m., by noon it rains, then the sun comes out, then it rains again.

Summer is worse...just 2 weeks ago on the east coast. 96-degrees..everything bakes, then some rain, sun comes out again and more baking, just the situation @BigBear talked about. Ugh! Is there ANY cover that actually works? I would pay up to $600 if it does what it should do as promised.

OMG, what is the solution? Is it back to the weekly detailing, with now popular ceramic coatings for those who don't have a garage? No cover at all is what I am hearing now. Do carports offer anything other than protection from direct sun rays at 12:00 noon? Pollen blows everywhere. Some say frequent washing, others say no, don't use water, it starts rust, others say wash and drive immediately. Blahhh, Blahhh. So, it seems like the enclosed garage, and a lightweight cover is the answer...for those who have a garage. What is left for those who don't have a garage? Trains and Ubers?

Consider your self lucky I was quoted a minimum of 10, 000 to paint and match the black metal flake 😒
