When I traveled the last time, I encountered some rainstorms and the felt covered edges got pretty dirty. Like the other guy, I used some car wash soap in a bucket. I then washed the black plastic outside then I wiped it down with some leather and vinyl cleaner. It has some sofeners in it that help to preserve the vinyl. I then hung the thing up in the garage and allowed it to dry before I folded it for storage.

I believe the instructions with the GM bra say NOT to use any vinyl conditioners, etc.

Oops.... seemed to work Ok though, of course I did not put it right back on the car. I know that stuff takes a long time to dry and I can see how it could spread to the paint if it was not dry. I did not use anything like Armor All though, this was the leather cleaner used for the interior leather and vinyl cleaner.
