Hi, yes i get possible the same marks, i think its from friction in the wind. I use my autoglym super resin car polish which removes it straight away.

 

Hope this helps

I thought the whole idea of having a caravan cover was to keep it clean over the winter period. Seems like a very poor investment then if you have to use other products and muscle power to remove marks left by the cover. I believe that they also cause condensation which eventually leads to damp problems

Are they grey shaded marks ?

I get them off my cover and when I questioned Protec they didn`t seem too interested.

Did you open the cover on grass to put it on ? You might have trapped leaves or grass under it.Without seeing it, i would say it is hard to tell what it could be..Whats the cover like on the inside ?

The grey shading sounds the same as mine. I spoke to Protec about it at the caravan show last year and they didn`t seem interested. I have tried all sorts to clean them off without much success.
