Washed My Oem Car Cover

[BirchMarauder]

Because its so much fabric, I washed the car cover while it was on the car with soap and water. the water went thru to the car, i guess because of the soap. would it be a good idea to let the cover dry while its still on the car or will it stain. its a black oem ford car cover with the marauder logo on the front hood area.

I wouldn't take the chance... take it off to dry.

I've been wondering how to clean my OEM car cover. Let me know how it turns out.

I just thow mine in the washer and let it air dry, have done it twice with no issues.

I don't know a lot about the OEM Ford cover, but if it's anything like a regular aftermarket cover, you needed to take it to one of those Laundromats and use an industrial washer with some all purpose cleanser like 409 or Fantastic. Air/Sun dry.

I don't know if it was a good call to wash the cover with it on the car itself. Depending on the strength of the soap it could just strip your wax job or it could stain/streak the paint.

It also could just wash the dirt through it so you can scrub it into your paint. I wouldn't do it.
I wash my aftermarket cover in my front load large capacity washer with a little Simple Green. Works great, then I drape it over one of my deck rails and it dries in no time.
