Washing waterproof jackets

HI all,

I have a Pearl Izumi Instinct jacket. Over the winters months, as I don't have mud guards, it has become quite dirty. I have tried various detergents to clean it but nothing seems to shift the dirt. All the time I have kept the wash cycle down to 30 degrees as recommended by Pearl Izumi. At this stage I'm tempted to throw it in at 90 degrees to shift the dirt. Is this a good idea or will I ruin the jacket? I have some re-waterproofer to wash in afterwards.

Thanks!
