Re: tonneau cover

not sure but maybe a product called back to black check the label because it works really well for certain things but doesnt last VERY long also there are product thgat are designed for convertable soft tops they work very well maybe if you clean it with the soft top cleaner then try armorall it will work better.

Re: tonneau cover

They make stuff called "Tonneau Tonic" made specifically for covers. I have also used black magic tire spray and it works good, just a bit greasy

Re: tonneau cover

I had my truck waxed, and they waxed the cover too. Shined like you wouldn't believe...but only for about a week. :-(

Re: tonneau cover

Re: tonneau cover

Ive heard not to use armor all because it has oils in it that can break the vinvl down faster, I use stuff by blue magic thats called covertable top cleaner it cant be used for tonneau covers too. autozone carrys it
