I ordered the GM black cover with my new Camaro. Can you wash them? If so, will they fit in normal size home washing machine or will I have to find a big washer at a laundry mat?

My kids purchased the GM parts cover for fathers day and after several times of taking on and off I noticed I was getting light scratches. I decided to use that cover only if I needed it for outside. I purchased one from California Car Cover, a 100% cotton indoor cover. I use it all the time indoors and have noticed no scratches. When I roll it up I try and keep it on the back window glass and keep the edges laid over the top as I roll up. The paint on these are so soft they are so easy to scratch. the one I purchased was $279 but well worth it.
For CamaroMike you have your car stored on jack stands, I read this a a major no no. I read it is recommended to keep the load on the suspension for long storage periods. I purchased a set of tire ramps to keep the tires off the floor and keep from flat spotting. |

Covers don't really mar up the car. What damages the car is you taking it on and off and there being a thin layer of dust and dirt on the car, and its ground in , by even the softest cover. Make sure when you put it on , it's clean, and the car is clean. I wipe the whole car down with the diluted rinseless before I put the cover. Once it's on, it never comes off again until I'm taking it off at the end of the storage period.

Hello,
+1 in the vote for a genuine GM cover; those for the 6th gen are awesome. This is the Mighty HABU taking a nap during the snow storm. Kindest, Donner |

I have the GM indoor cover also and would highly recommend it. There are two types of GM covers--outdoor and indoor. Make sure you get the indoor version, part# 23457478 for the black cover.

It comes with a carrying Camaro bag easy to store & compact when in the bag.
