Review on πŸš— XXL Sedan Car Weather Cover by Amazon Basics by Terrance Duncan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice inexpensive car cover

I have bought many car covers over the years and this one is good. It fits my 1998 Lexus LS400 perfectly. It just doesn't fit in the center of the front and rear bumpers, but the next size up is too big (tried size XL and had to send it back). I use clips on all four corners of all my car covers and route the bungee cord under the car to the grommets located on each side of the cover. I don't know how long it will be, hopefully a year or so. The previous cover I had was a cheap $25 version from Wally World and it worked great for 2 years until I put it on when the cover was wet; who broke it. I've even washed it countless times in our washing machine. I will do the same with this one too. Tip: If I need to wash it, I slowly load the cover into the washing machine (starting at the front of the cover and working my way up), fill the washing machine with warm water (not hot), and only add a little powder. With the lid open so it's out of the way, dip your hand in the water, swirl the lid with your hand, close the lid and turn the handle to the position where the soapy water comes out. When the spin cycle is complete, lift the lid and allow the washing machine to fill with cold rinse water, stirring again by hand if it runs out of rinse water (do not use fabric softener). Close the lid and turn the knob to the spin cycle and let it spin completely. When the car stops, take the cover out, hang it somewhere and let it dry for a few hours - then you can put it back on. If you take it on a laundry mat, use a large front-loading machine with very little detergent and no fabric softener. I've done this countless times with the cheap version and it never fell apart. Hope this works too.
