Protecting new vinyl tonneau cover

[Carbo]

Hey guys, just bought a new vinyl tonneau cover for the truck. It says to use a water base vinyl protectant and I know Meguiars offers a few of these items. What is the best one for cleaning and getting a good deep shine?

Water based would be Hyper Dressing I suppose.

I would go with M40.

I used it here:

Both are excellent choices. Just have to be careful. The water base dressing could run down the sides after it gets really wet.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, I know all about it running down the side of the bed after a nice rain. I experienced that as well with my old tonneau cover. I used to use armor all on that but I didn't care because the cover was old. I just want to use something better to keep this cover looking new as long as possible.

Hi Carbo,

What brand of tonneau did you treat your truck to?

I personally have a Roll-n-Lock on my '09 Sierra, very handy. It came with a cleaning and conditioning kit about the size of my thumb :-)
I'm getting some M40 soon.

Hey Bill,

I bought the Access Vanish Lo-Pro for my 1999 GMC Sierra. It sits only a half an inch above the bed rail. But the biggest reason I bought it, aside from the fact that my old one was rotted and had snaps, it is all integrated. No bows, no snaps. You just unlatch it at the tailgate and roll it up. It's secured down by being taught and velcro. Very nice and very slick.

Do you have any pics?

There was this ultra thin aluminum model I was going to order out of the States, if can remember the name, I'll post some pics.

Sorry Bill I don't. My wife has an IPhone that we use to take photos, but they don't come out very clear. You can get onto Autoanything.com (where I bought it from) and see a lot of photos there. They show different angles and how it works.

This bad boy... NICE!!!

p.s. iPhone 4 just came out. Maybe you can talk the wife into letting you have one.


Carbo: Hey babe... did you here, the new iPhone 4.0 just came out.
Wife: You just bought a Tonneau cover, don't even think about it.

Normally I would say that is true...However, it's my wifes Iphone. But I'm sure she would come up with a reason for me not to buy anymore meguiars products.

BTW, yes that is the cover. As I said before, very nice!!!! Highly recommend this one.
