[Sailfish]

I transported mine in an open trailer and I used 2 covers. The first was a soft fleece, form-fitted for my car (made by SPF). The second was an oversize heavy duty (not the typical blue light duty!!) tarp available at most home repair stores.

I wouldn't recommend covering the car during transport because wind buffeting can cause flapping which will damage the paint.

However, if you decide to cover it, make sure the covers are secured in as many places as possible to minimize flapping. And stop periodically to make sure they stay tight. A loose tarp is not your friend.

I trailered my car over quite a distance and had no problems and no blemishes.

Good luck.
