Hey everyone. Took the cover off my 17 today and it had these spots everywhere. What's the cause?

Seems that you failed to post the photo. Try it again.
My car gets more jacked under the cover. That's why I don't cover it anymore. As mentioned. no pictures.
Sorry bout that guys. I tried to post from my phone but I guess they dd t load.

is it stored outside under a cover?
That's water spots. Must have a ton of hard water.
Are the stains a milky whitish color? Like this (just above the white square in the photo)? If so, that happens sometimes with car covers.
That's what i was thinking
Yes sir don't have a garage to store the cars.

That's exactly what it is!! They came right off with water and I washed it. It wasn't like water spots really it was like flour.

I thought so also but it didn't look like water spots and it also came right off with just water but I washed it of course.

Is the cover new? When my cover was new for my truck after it rained it left a powdery residue on the car. Make sure the car is clean when you put this on there and make sure it's tied down good. If it blows in the wind it will mess your paint up quick

Yes sir it is new. I got it for Christmas and didn't put it on till around march. It's the one you get st American muscle that is custom fit. Ok I haven't been tieing it down but it didn't seem to move much. Kinda new with covers, but how should i tie it down? Appreciate all the replys everyone!

Does the cover have eyelits on the bottom? On my truck I run a pull strap underneath and then pull it tight. This seems to do the trick since the front and rear have elastic. The straps keeps the center tight as well. Mine has been through many storms like this and it's never came off and stays secure.

Yes sir it has 2. One on each side in the middle of the car. That is exactly what I'll do!!! Appreciate the help brother!!

may have been something in the cover or just the rain sitting there under the cover.
as mentioned car covers can cause just as much damage as they protect you from. if the car is dirty, dont even bother putting it on, even if the wind doesnt blow it around just sliding it on the car can grind crap into the clear coat

Yes sir I don't put it on unless the car has been washed. I don't let the car sit after a wash either. Right after I'm done drying it with my blower I put it on.

That's great that the spots came off so easily. You were fortunate. Sometimes it takes some serious detailing work to eliminate them.
