I only know this painfully from our manufacturing, we cant use anything but cotton or paper, or it will leave an imprint.
The newer clear plastic wraps made for OEM shipments work fine, but they must be removed within so many days.

Shoot, yes I did know this. The paint was baked and was a week old when I picked it up. No mention of car covers from the body shop but no waxing for 90 days so I presume that's because it's still out-gassing. I removed the cover and sent a text the the shop. Thank you Q&C!
The cover is a loose fitting indoor breathable polypropylene but will wait for confirmation from the body shop as well.

I FINALLY got the E-Diff fluid changed. My old perfect Indie is now too far away to be practical, so I've been checking out a few now nearer to me. The guy I chose now does really good work and is very reasonable. So anyway, I DID have to give some pointers on removing the dreaded fill-plug, and once that was done there was a problem with their fluid pump. SO, it took awhile but it is now a job-done. At least for another 60k miles.
I used my own fluid, dude charged me the original $84, even after they modified several different tools to make it work and spent over two hours doing it.

I don't officially 'put the car away for winter' but I don't use it if the weather is bad. Here in the UK the weather has been so awful this year, if we put our cars away, we'd never get them out again. I leave mine in the garage, on its CTEK charger and take it out on any sunny, dry day, even in the depths of winter. Saves me from having to put it on stands to keep the tyres from getting flat spots too. How do you guys deal with that? Do you move the car in and out of the garage periodically?
