Any tips/tricks?

Mine is filthy, having put up with the incessant NJ pollen for 3 years now... it is leaving residue on the car.

I realize I need to find a laundromat with a huge machine, but otherwise... [Confused]

The pamphlet that came with it is fairly non-descriptive, just wondering what works and what doesn't... and what won't damage the material.

It's a California Car Cover NOAH cover.

Thanks,
Mike

to my best of my memory

1) Do not use liquid detergent
2) Ony use non-liquid detergent
3) I usually let the cover air dry

My Noah cover came with instructions that said to wash it in a large laundromat machine with a bottle of Fantastik cleaner as detergent.

Whoever said you couldn't run away from your problems obviously wasn't driving an SS.

Believe it or not rain water cleans my Noah Wolf from all of the coffee stains on it. You could wash it with a garden hose and soft brush and soap and water and let it hang on a fence to dry or the laundromat will work. [Smile]

I just put mine in the washer, then the dryer.

It shrank a tiny bit, but still covers the car
well.

Of course with 5 kids, we have Super Capacity
Machines!

The directions that came with the cover says 16 oz. of Fantastik! and air dry on the car. That's how we clean all of our car covers.
