Porsche indoor car cover

Hi everyone,

Question on car covers, I have the OEM Porsche indoor cover, what would the recommendations be regarding washing it? Planning on placing it in the washing machine to get some stains off - is this wise?

Cheers,

I'd take it to a laundromat and put it in one of the larger machines and use the delicate setting.

I would also air dry it and not put it in the dryer after your finish washing it. Let us know how it comes out.

Soap suds, 30 degree 2 hour wash cycle followed by drying in the sun/wind. Looks 100%.

Hope this helps those of you wanting to wash your indoor covers.

Cheers,

Awesome to hear and thank you for being the ginnie pig. Did you use any particular brand of soap ?

I have a simpler solution for indoor car cover to keep dust off between washes.

See through plastic drape - cool! I was wondering if I should put this over the indoor car cover, but it doesn't look too nice.......

It's just a 1 mil drop cloth from HD $2. If I don't want to take time to fold it up I can just throw it away.
