one time, years ago i covered mine at the end of the season with a blue tarp and thought i had it secured well. i didn't and it scuffed the paint off the corners. since then, i don't cover.

IMHO as you experience, the "blue tarps" cause more problems than they solve. One is wear as you experienced, the other is they don't breath at all, so moisture going through the threads or anything gets trapped underneath keeping the roof and sides wet, resulting in mold, dirt and graphics curling.
Good covers will breath and let the surface dry quickly and at the same time not allow much water to penetrate during rainstorms. and the fabric is soft enough to not scuff the surface.
