I a had a very expensive twin layer cover but it still marked the paint on the corners of the bumpers, bonnet, tail gate and hatch. It was the second time of using a cover, the first was twenty years ago (same result) but my memory was short and I thought more money and a microfiber inner layer on a clean car would be alright, sadly no, with in weeks the damage was done and the cover was binned.
