The shiny ones are a coated fabric so I wouldn't get too aggressive with the cleaning. The worst ones I ever saw were with a guy who'd been on the road 2 or 3 years continuously. They were originally black but looked like faded charcoal canvas, with little coating left. The only giveaway was the little reflective triangle. He was planning to replace them shortly.
