We don't have to fight this battle here. The cover was on just for the drama. The body is in the assembly shop. The amount of dust is very limited. I have always thought that new paint needed to cure out for a couple of months but I'm sure the car will get a professional buff out before it goes anywhere. That is also an excellent cover. It is always a choice between dust on the new paint or potential damage from the cover. If someone touches a dusty car, well you all know the result.
