Kinda like the damage a car bra does on a the wherever it touches the paint.

hmmm...what would cause friction between the cover and paint if the cover isnt used during transit? i can understand a car bra being abrasive on paint because it is always chattering and moving. but when a boat is stagnant on a trailer, the cover doesnt move/chatter (unless its windy)...thus no abrasion.

^ Wind, the operator taking it on and off, neighborhood cat jumping on the cover, etc... And a little bit of dirt/sand (on the cover or paint) and you have a high wear area that will be visible in no time.

what about raised magnets that potrude through the paint. haha...i am desperate here!!!

You mean ones that look like SNAPS?
