Question - counter to what he's saying can it be washed off, easily dislodged from the fabric during a shampoo or should the car be kept covered or protected by enclosing the carport? Wife has been fighting me to keep it open for 15 years since we built here. We're in the country and the open space has some fine views.
Pollen washes right off with a hose (no need for soap even). Bird poop takes a little more effort. I just store mine outside without any cover. No glaring issues so far after being out all spring and summer.
