    Stock (for now) with some mild conveniences thanks to Amazon.
    Just bought a new 2019 off-road with tori-fold bed cover. Hoping to keep it from fading or turning white. What do you use to clean it and keep it protected?

    I just used this stuff for the first time (thanks to TW). So far so good

    I got it with same-day shipping on Amazon by the way

    This. I use the same bottle for interior as well, the effects last a while.

    Klasee cleaner/protectant for the interior. I'd use it on the tonneau, but a bit pricey for me for that.

    And yes, I've got a bottle of 303. Not impressed.

    think the aerospace stuff would work well on a bakflip tonneau?

    Plastic or rubber would be a go

    Good UV blocker for headlights and taillights while you’re at it.

    I began using 303 but not long enough to tell if it is effective.

    Aerospace 303 is good, especially for interior, but it's water soluble and washes off in rain and washes. I use Dura Gloss 301. It's water and detergent resistant. Works great!!

    Which means it will streak the side of your truck when the rain washes it off.

    I have used Mothers and Mequiers back to black good but ease of use is most important to me. I like the spray features and love the chemical guys back to black.
