The material that some of these boat covers is made out of is really abrasive. In hindsight, did you contact Ranger to see if you could get a factory cover yet?

But, on to your problem at hand. The hazing/scuffing can be buffed out. Use a fine polishing or rubing compound. If it's not too bad, hand buffing with a diaper will work. If it's deeper, or a larger area, you will need a buffer, or variable spped grinder. Get a good bonnets, use the compound, and buff away. be careful not too apply too much pressure, or work an area too long. Be very careful on any sharp corners or edges. You can burn right through the gelcoat.

Then, get that cover back to the maker, and have them sew some fleese into it where it contacts the boat. Also, be careful of the nylon straps if you have them. They'll scuff it up good if left to flap in the wind.

Good Luck, Jason.
