Tonneau cover UV protectant

Does anyone use any type of preventative UV protectant on their tonneau and other items that are in the sun often? I was looking at this option

$15 303 Products Automotive Protectant Spray, 16 fl. oz.

It's what I went with after doing a good bit of research. It's good stuff.

 

303 areospace protectant awesome stuff ive been using it for years.

 

303 protectant all day long. I buy by the gallon:

I haven't purchased what you linked OP (specific to vinyl) but the standard white bottle is good for all plastics and rubber. I use it on the bedrails, the bumper step pads, under the mirrors...basically any of the trim on the truck in addition to any bedcover I've had in the past.

These spray bottles work nice for refills as I buy my spray wax/detailer by the gallon too:

Can someone give some insight on how often to use the 303?

 

Every couple months

 

Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant from Autogeek is good stuff for tonneau protection.

303 will run in the rain, as it never really dries. If you don't mind reapplying frequently it's good stuff.

 

Living in Florida with the extreme heat and near water. I always go for a marine application on that aerospace protectant in the white bottle, put on and buff or rub it in by hand. There’s no nice smell like other products but it lasts longer.

 

Regarding Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant... Just to test out longevity, I applied a 3x3" square area on the back corner of my vinyl roll-up tonneau in July of 2017.

In May of 2018, I was washing my truck and to my surprise, when I sprayed down the tonneau, a perfect water free square appeared on the back corner, while the rest of the tonneau held water. It was literally 4 straight lines on all 4 sides of the square like it was drawn with a pen. I was amazed. It's a GREAT product for tonneau protection.

 

I've seen the 303 products, I've seen the white spray bottle and this blue one, which do you guys recommend?

Also, do you guys recommend their cleaner as well?

 

Blue is the new labeling. If you find white bottles, it's certainly older product. I'd get the blue bottle to be sure you get newer product. And yes, the cleaner is good stuff for the vinyl tonneaus.

 

Thanks for the recommendation. I've seen some really bad sun faded ones and I just got my new "used" one
