I have been meaning to do mine... Cosmoline as well.
I was going to try out Hangars. I've posted about them before... CO2-based dry cleaning. They wash it without heat or water (liquid C02 instead). Interesting concept I thought...
We'll see if the waterproofing holds up.

Hmm.... I've only washed it once and I get little puddles.... (more)
all over the roof, rear glass and deck lid from the seepage through the cover.
When I washed it, I used some bike degreaser on the few spots where the cosmoline got onto the cover (115 temps this summer caused the junk to ooze out sitting in the parking lot at work) and used a very small amount of Tide in wash. If it matters, my car sits completely unprotected - ie no car port, trees, etc.. to prevent the dew from sitting heavily on the car (lately 1/8" thick layers of frost/ice)
I never had this problem with the car cover for my old car (Technalon material)... I got the Audi one because I was not too impressed with the fit of the Cal Cover ones I had seen posted on the Forum.
