"Washing" Tequipment Satin Car Cover
After many years of faithful service, the GT3s Tequipment sating cover (whitish with full color crest on bonnet) had gotten a bit dirty and spotted with various satins.
Whats the safest way to "wash/clean" this cover? Thanks

I put my Silverguard cover in the washer - in a deep water wash ( warm ) with a small amount of
Woolite newer HE washers will spin it to very dry - then stretched it over some chairs to air dry It worked well, threw the storage bag in with it |

After convincing my better half that using "her" washing machine (Im not allowed in the laundry room an arrangement we're both happy with) that it was not like washing my car parts in "her" dishwasher (another area Im not allowed near, she washed the car cover in "her" "HE" washer with Woolite. I then hug it on chairs to dry completely.
Great results. She even used an odor removal liquid on it - It looks and smells like new. Thanks for the suggestions.

on the diswasher subject, 2 weeks ago I was putting some stuff in the basement and in particular a couple of somewhat dirty gullideckel 928 wheels to try and loosen up some of the grunge in the barrels that particular wheel is front or edge weighed and I dropped one on my foot It hit the big toe between the foot and the knuckle of the toe pain so intense that I folded my arms in the sink and was sure I'd nearly severed it - literally lost track of time I had a very light leather loafer on and after about 15 minutes removed the shoe still can't figure out where all the blood came from probably still not as bad as invoking the wrath of a woman and her appliances but I'm still hobbled and still taped my useless post of 2020 |

by far - those heal up in a couple of days
this is going to last a month + it's a toe, so there's a reminder every step |
