Will the mask damage the paint on my vehicle?
No! NoviStretch™ products are specifically designed to prevent damage to the clear coat on today’s painted finishes. The tight fit, the material and method of our fabrication eliminate fluttering and seams that are an inherent part of the more traditional vinyl or leather covers. In addition there are no “cutouts” on our mask that allow grit and other foreign material to get between the mask and the car’s finish.
NoviStretch® covers are constructed from synthetic stretch fabric that will not chaff or damage the painted surface and have been designed to perform in all weather & road conditions.
It is important that the painted surface be clean prior to installation of the cover. Over time and with use, dirt or dust, may work its way between the cover and the painted surface. Regular cleaning of both the cover & surface is essential to provide proper protection. Severe weather conditions or travel on off-road surfaces increase the recommended frequency for inspection and cleaning.
It is expected to see some cosmetic damage (small holes, thinning, fading or discoloration) to the mask over time & miles as it does its job. However, proper care will maximize product life.”
