Woolite or Dreft work just fine.

Is it "fantastic" or "fantasik" ?

Where do you get it ?

woops... didnt see this before-

it is fantastik

much more than you ever wanted to know about it- it is recommended by the manufacturer of the honda cover- see below

and before you read this, my post indicates that i used a capful or something like that- i think the directions are actually for something like a cup or more (which is way too much imo unless the cover is really messed up- i still use it and just use a "splash")- also my link as to where to get it is dead. but anyway:

You sure it's not a cup full? I lost my instructions, but I remember that when I read them I was surprised by how much was required and that it would be a pretty expensive wash.

Another way to clean dust from the inside or outside of the Car Cover is to put it on your vehicle and hose it off. To clean the inside, put the car cover on inside-out, rinse off and then leave on to dry. To clean the outside, put the Car Cover on normally, rinse and then leave on to dry. "

Sorry to be dense, but I'm just not sure that the Fantastik I've looked up is the right stuff. I went to www.fantastik.com and saw a number of spray products. These included such items as Fantastik with Bleach, antibacterial lemon, oxy power, orange, etc. Are any of these the correct product to use washing the OEM car cover?

Thanks for the replies.
