Best UV protection for Tonneau covers

[silver64]

I know how hard the sun can be on all types of surfaces but its really hard on plastics and vinyls. Whats the best product you guys have found for soft tonneau cover preservation?

Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

I use 303 vinyl protector. There are some great videos of how well it works protecting against UV damage. Well known in the marine industry.

You cannot get any better than 303.

BAK industries actually recommends 303. If you were to contact them regarding a warranty claim for the vinyl they'll ask if you have been using 303 to protect the vinyl and if you take the truck through automated carwashes. Any waxes or cleaners with silicon in them cause the vinyl to shrink and delaminate. This is really bad for the rolling hard covers like the revolver X2 and X4.

Another vote for 303. I use it on most things.

CQuartz or other ceramic coating designed for trim will blow away any temporary and buildup prone product such as 303

This stuff is expensive. I'm curious how long it lasts per application.

303. It isn't expensive and it works.

Thanks for the advice all. I ordered the 303 so we will see how it works.

303 was originally designed for RV and boats. It has some of the best UV blockers for Vinyl and plastics.

Do you guys recommend anything for interior trim and vinyl seats? I usually just wipe off with distilled water.

still 80% after 2 years. Truck sat outside for the first 1.5 years. I will refresh it this spring but because of water spotting, not coating failure. So really not expensive at all
