I was thinking of doing this but I'm concerned that the contact will leave a weird mark on the paint from moisture.
Still thinking I can find storage for decent coin... holding out hope

We used to have a massive garage that I would easily be able to leave it in and it would never see a flake of snow, but of course, right when I get a car i'm actually gonna build and care about we get rid of it. I was thinking maybe get some sort of paint safe buffer that would prevent the cover from touching the car itself. Like a stand that has a base that is fine on the paint and holds the cover up.

Alright, I guess I'll find out. Hopefully getting it wrapped in the spring too so that will hide anything that may occur

peace of mind would be a good coat or two of wax before snowfall

After reassessing what I had written, I see that it could be interpreted as “put on wax, then put on sealant.” I meant sealant instead of wax for the purpose of protection. A sealant with a coat of wax layered on top of it will provide both the protection from the sealant and the visual appeal of the wax.
I don’t remember what kind it was now, but I remember seeing something on YouTube, possibly on the rag company channel, there is one specific sealant/wax combination that gets installed in the opposite order. The sealant somehow goes through the layer of wax to bond to the clear coat underneath. It was pretty wild. In other words...

I bought optimum no rinse a year or 2 ago..still havent used it. Should probably give it a go, i wasnt sure if it was a product youd want to use with salt on the car.

I used ONR today to clean all the smutz off my car. It works so well. The version I use is blue & not green. No wax in it other than what they use in it is supposed to leave a protective layer behind. I have a gallon of Prima Hydro so I'll keep spritzing with it after the washes.
If your car is really dirty I don't think ONR is the right way. When mine is really bad I go to the local touchless wash to get most of the crud off & once home I wash it again with ONR. No marked up paint for me.
