Re: C8 cover pics/friction points.
Just to chime in....
I've detailed 2 of the new C8 Corvettes, both black. I've found the paint to be on the SOFT side. I wouldn't say it's stupid soft, but it's soft.
I would NOT put a car cover on a C8 Corvette unless you, (or the owner), already knows and accepts the fact that the act of putting the car cover on is going to scratch it. The act of any movement of the car cover while on the Corvette will likely scratch it. And if there's any wind or air currents moving the car cover it's going to scuff and mar the paint.
It simply scratches too easy. A quality ceramic coating would definitely help but if it were my Corvette - I wouldn't do it. That's of course unless it was white or silver metallic.

Also...
You posted this in Off Topic and while that's perfectly okay - it would probably be better in Detailing 101.
Would you like me to move the thread?

I want sure where to put it, feel free to move where appropriate.
Also, this is actually the shipping cover. It’s how it is shipped from the factory and I snapped the photos as I removed it so everyone can see where the mystery swirls and such come from. This blue is also on the soft side, a little black fire polish will clean it right up before the client flys in to take delivery. I’m not sure I would want to drive it out of Detroit in the middle of winter, but to each their own.
