Just got back from our trip and wanted to thank you for the covers.  I promised I would send a picture with of my Sea Dooos with the covers on.  They worked great.  75-80 mph across interstate seventy for 14 hours and never had an issue.  When  I arrived and uncovered the PWC's I was amazed to find no wearing and they were as clean as when I put the cover.  This was awesome because it rained on us through two states.  Thanks again and be sure I will be telling all my friends about your product

Poppy Company covers are made from Sur Last™ a 100% solution-dyed polyester (USA Made!) fiber with a urethane coating, which provides excellent water repellency, and mildew resistant. This construction allows Sur Last™ to be easily maintained. If you follow a few simple care and cleaning steps, the fabric will look good and maintain its fine qualities for many years.

Important Background:
Because SurLast™ fabrics are woven, they are also breathable. It's also important to know that Sur Last™ fabrics are treated with a fluorocarbon finish, which enhances water repellency. This finish requires replenishment after vigorous cleaning.

Polyester fabric will not support the growth of mildew. Mold and mildew needs "food" to grow on and polyester isn't desirable substance for mold. Dirt or dust on the fabric is a perfect "food" for mildew growth, which makes regular cleanings important. There is no set time for when fabric should be cleaned, and the local environment has a great deal to do with determining cleaning frequency. Cleaning is required less frequently in a dry environment than in a humid one with heavy foliage. Sur Last™ being a polyester actually has a finish applied to the fabric to detour mold and mildew growth but does not make it mold proof. Keeping fabric free of dirt is important to detour mold growth.

Cleaning:
One of the best ways to keep Sur Last™ fabrics looking good and to delay the need for deep or vigorous cleanings is to hose fabrics off on a monthly basis with clear water. This practice will help prevent dirt from becoming deeply embedded in the fabric and eliminate the need for more frequent vigorous cleanings. In most environments, a thorough cleaning will be needed every two to three years.
Sur Last™ fabrics can be cleaned while still on a frame or a boat or, size permitting, they can be removed for cleaning in a washing machine. (Wash in lukewarm water, air dry)

When cleaning Sur Last™ fabrics, it is important to observe the following:

	Always use a natural soap. Never detergent.
	Water should be cold to lukewarm. Never more than 100 degrees.
	Air dry only. Never apply heat to Sur Last™ fabrics or put them in the dryer. If you are cleaning Sur Last™ while still on a frame or on a boat, follow these simple steps:

1. Brush off loose dirt and hose it down.
2. Prepare a cleaning mixture of water and mild, natural soap (no detergents).
3. Use a soft bristle brush to clean.
4. Allow soap to soak in.
5. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.

If stubborn stains persist, you can use a diluted chlorine bleach/soap mixture for spot cleaning of mildew, roof run-off and other similar stains. Please keep in mind that chlorine bleach will not change the color of your Sur Last fabric but chlorine bleach eventually breaks down the fiber of any fabric and this method should be used little as possible.

Prepare a special cleaning mixture:
Four ounces (half cup) of chlorine bleach.
Two ounces (one-fourth cup) of natural soap to one gallon of water.
Clean with soft bristle brush and allow mixture to soak for up to 20 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly and Air dry.
Repeat if necessary.

If top or boat cover is suitable in size for a washing machine, these steps should be followed:
Use only natural soaps. No detergent.
Wash and rinse in cold water.
Air dry. Never put your boat cover in the dryer

Re-treating the fabric:
As part of the finishing process, Sur Last™ fabrics are treated with a fluorocarbon finish, which enhances water repellency. This finish is designed to last for several years, but must be replenished after a thorough cleaning. Based on test results, Sur Last™ recommends 303 High Tech Fabric Guard™ as the preferred re-treatment product for Sur Last™ fabrics. Fabrics should be retreated after thorough cleaning or after five years of use. Check with your local Upholstery dealer or distributor for more information. :

Applying 303 High Tech Fabric Guard™ (Preferred Water Proofing Agent)
303 should be applied to Sur Last™ fabrics after each thorough cleaning, which typically removes the original fluorocarbon finish and reduces the fabric's water resistance. After cleaning the fabric, allow it to air dry completely and then apply 303 in a thin, even coat. After allowing the first coat of 303 to air dry, apply a second thin, even coating of 303. Two light coatings are more effective in restoring fabric water resistance than a single heavy coating. The 15-ounce bottle provides coverage of up to 50 square feet of lightweight fabric. Please keep in mind that 303 will only work as well as you apply it. This means that your fabric must be free of dirt and detergents or it will wash away with the dirt particles. If it is not clean, the water proofing agent will attach itself to dirt/bird poop/dust and simply wash off wasting your money.
With proper care and cleaning, you can expect excellent service and long life from Sur Last™ fabric and your Poppy Company Cover!
