It's a good indoor cover, but I don't reccomend using it outdoors. It will swirl and smudge the clear coat when it's used outside.

Basicly the wind is what does it. The cover is made of a very light tent like material and it moves around alot. Mine was covered for a few months outside and any edge on the car looked like it had mild buffer burn. Also anything that gets between the cover and the paint will leave light scratches similar to a swirl mark. It buffed off pretty easy, no permenant damage.

I had to pop a hole and grommet in the front and rear of the cover so I could use bugee cords to hold the cover on. Otherwise the front or back would blow off sometimes.
