Cleaning car cover
What do you guys do to clean your covers? I have one I used before but it has gotten really dirty from sitting and rubbing the tires. It was for a truck but would help keep my car from getting scratched in a tight garage. Right now I am looking at a best option of going to a laundry mat.
Anyone else done it another way?

I use a little Simple Green (not diluted) in one of the big commercial washing machines. I usually wash mine twice; once to let the Simple Green do its thing and another to make sure all of the cleaner is gone.
These are the instructions the Coverking Website provided for cleaning my cover.

I've washed a cover at a laundromat before too. Works well in those large machines. You might want to do some research on the cover's manufacturer site and see what they recommend as a cleaning process and what detergent to use.
