How to clean your car cover

As your cover is busy protecting your vehicle from dirt, dust, and rain, it is bound to get dirty. Just like the car it’s protecting, maintaining your cover properly will help it last for years. Not cleaning your cover can cause your windshield and paint to become dirty and foggy looking. A dirty cover may also help pull water through the fabric, as the dirt and dust beneath the surface are absorbent.

1.      Leave your cover on your vehicle or lay it on a flat clean surface.

2.      Mix one ounce of mild dish soap or gentle laundry detergent with one gallon of warm water.

3.      Using a sponge, scrub soapy water onto the cover. Use a bristle brush for any tough stains.

4.      Allow the cover to air dry, and use a towel to dry any areas where moisture is still present.

If you are not going to be using your cover again. Allow the cover to fully dry, then fold and keep it in the carry case provided.

How to Fold Your Vehicle Cover

For easy storage, fold your cover as you are taking it off of your car.

Begin removing the cover at either end of the vehicle, carefully pulling it outward while avoiding any sharp edges.

Allow the cover to lie across the surface of your vehicle from front to back. If your cover has any moisture on it, let it to dry before folding.

Lift and fold each side of the cover (lengthwise, one at a time) inward toward the center axis of the cover. This should form a piece approximately two feet wide.

After both sides are folded in, start at the rear and roll the cover over the roof and onto the hood.

As you roll your cover up, continue pulling in the sides of the cover to create a more compact roll, similar to a sleeping bag.

Use a storage bag for your cover. Be sure the cover is completely dry before storage.
