Cleaning and maintenance of your Harley Davidson cover

The life and usefulness of a quality Harley cover can be extended if it is properly cleaned and maintained. These are necessary to combat the indoor and outdoor elements your HD motorcycle is exposed to, such as sunlight, rain, wind, and dust. These elements can cause your Harley Davidson cover to deteriorate over time. The better you clean and maintain your Harley Davidson cover, the better it can protect your motorcycle when it’s essential.

cleaning procedures

• Place the HD Cover on a protective surface, such as a blanket or tarp. Make sure the Harley Davidson cover is fully open and not directly touching the ground.
• To loosen and remove dust and dirt, use a hose to push it out.
• Gently scrub all parts of the Harley cover with warm, mild soapy water and a clean cloth. Give precise concentration to areas with stains.
• Rinse the entire Harley deck to remove any soapy residue with the use of a hose.
• Allow your HD cover to air and/or sun dry naturally.

Maintenance tips

• Never use a harsh, abrasive cleaner. A mild soap or laundry detergent will work well to satisfy the cleaning requirement.
• A pressure washer available at an auto car wash will work just fine if a hose isn’t handy.
• Treat stained stains immediately, as even stain-resistant fabrics can be marred by falling berries and other items.
• Wait until your Harley’s cover is completely dry when wet before storing it inside its storage bag, as it can cause mildew buildup.
• Keep in the habit of cleaning your HD cover before putting it away.
• Take the time to regularly clean your Harley’s cover to keep it looking like new every season.
• If bad weather is expected, if possible, keep your HD motorcycle with a Harley Davidson cover inside your home or garage. Even though you know your HD cover is durable, you don’t have to test it if you don’t have to.
• When bike season has arrived and there’s no need to use your Harley Davidson cover, keep your Harley cover neatly folded and stowed inside its storage bag. With this, your Harley cover is safe from dust and pests, and its surface is less exposed to falling objects that could cause unwanted abrasions and stains.
