How to maintain your car cover

Put the cover on a dry, reasonably clean car, wipe or rinse the cover gently when it gets dirty, let it dry fully before folding, and store it folded in a dry place. Following these simple steps helps a car cover last longer and keeps it from marking your paint.

Before you put the cover on

Brush off loose grit or dust. Grit trapped under a cover can scratch paint when the cover moves.
Avoid covering a very hot car right after a drive. Let the engine and exhaust cool first.
If the car is wet, let it dry a little before covering it so moisture does not stay trapped.

Cleaning the cover

Spread the cover out or leave it on the car.
Wipe it with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, or rinse it with a gentle stream of water.
Do not use harsh chemicals or hard brushes.
Let it dry completely before folding.

Check the care instructions that come with your cover before machine washing.

Storing the cover

Fold it neatly, with the cleaner inside facing out so dirt stays on the outer side.
Keep it in its storage bag in a dry place.
Do not store it damp, because that can cause a musty smell and mould.

Tips for longer life

Use the cover every day outdoors, because a cover left in a heap collects dirt.
Fix wind buckles and straps so the cover does not flap and wear.
Check seams and edges now and then.

The DN Premium car cover is waterproof, UV protected and dust proof with hot-taped seams and a soft lining.
