Car Cover
Anyone know how to clean a car cover? Or if it should be done even at all or on a regular basis?
I got a Wolf cover (it's gray but not sure if it's the NOAH cover or one of the lower-end ones) with my C5 and it could use a bath. WIll washing it in a commeral-size machine cause any issues? The cover will only be ued in the garage and not outside. If washing is OK, can it dried in a dryer with either no heat or low heat?

Fine to wash in the machine in lukewarm water with detergent, tumble dry on low/medium turning often for uniform drying. It will be fine though I would only wash it this way a couple of times per year in order to maintain the integrity of the cover long term.

The low dry heat is key. Or just let it line dry for a few days.
