    I have been using Aerospace Protectant 303 for years on rubber, plastic, vinyl, leather, fibreglass. The instructions for my BakFlip hard panel tonneau cover actual recommends Aerospace Protectant 303.

    Used Mothers Back to Black on my TJ fender flairs. Worked great, and seemed to last thru a few washes before I needed to reapply.

    I guess a bed cover would get a lot more sun than flairs thou.

    Is it fading or dirty?

    Hit it with a powerwasher or a good scrubbing with soap, than apply the 303.

    303 is not a cleaner, just a protectant. For exterior applications, you need to do more than just apply 303 every few months.

    It's faded. I used 303 after a full wash of the truck. It was applied at least once a month.

    Just an fyi, these are the same exact thing on the inside. The labeling is just for marketing purposes. All the 303 sprays arenthe same formula (even the marine stuff).

    Please clarify.
    Are you saying;
    These two blue bottles are the same? They're not; one is cleaner, one is protectant.

    If your saying the blue and white bottle of protectant are the same, I agree.

    I posted this pic because OP wanted cleaner. Everyone is recommending the protectant.

    My fault. Just saw two different labels didn't realize one was a cleaner.

    I havent used their cleaner. How well does it work? Can you just spray it on a dirty pollen coated cover and wipe it clean?

    Worked great for the soft tonneau on my old GMC; now its just used for removing stains from my urethane mud flaps.
    For the tonneau, I followed the directions.
    Mudflaps; not so much.

    It's great stuff, I like how when you use it on all your black trim around the truck and it gets on the paint, it buffs right off, since it can used as a wax as well. It doesn't leave a streak like other products. It really can be used on everything

    Thanks for the heads up. Just canceled the Amazon order that arrived till Saturday and will instead pick up a bottle on the way home.
