What does everyone use to keep there soft covers clean? Looking for a good product that don't run or dry out always and not greasy.

I have heard alot of good about that 303 aerospace. Does it last long and does it streak down the bed sides?

I have the 3M Vinyl Cleaner/Conditioneer that I use on my boat seats. I'm going to try it on my tonneau cover this weekend...it works well on the seats.

I don't know how it would streak down the bed sides, unless you are pouring it on. It is a spray on wipe off. I do it 3-4 times a year.

i wash it off with normal car wash soap and then wipe it down with 303 aerospace afterwards.
What they said. Used 303 on my last soft tonneau cover and it looked like new after 9 years. I do store my truck in a garage though.

Just adding another vote for 303 Aerospace. Very easy and I've gotten no streaking. And it's a great product for interiors, exterior plastics, even tires if you like. It adds a clean, deep finish that is not overly glossy.

Somewhere in my readings or phone calls I am under the impression that Tonno Tonic and 303 are the same. I have no written/internet that I can think of to back up my statement.

Another Aerospace 303 user.

My tonneau instructions say to wash only with soap and water and specifically not to use vinyl conditioners that have silicone or petroleum.

Aerospace 303 does not have any of those "vinyl conditioners".

Anyone ever use Adams VRT (Vinyl/Rubber/Trim)? I use a lot of Adams products and have been happy. Just got the truck and waiting to install my BAK Revolver X4s and thinking about what product to use on it. I've heard good things about 303, so just curious to get more thoughts. Thanks!

I like 303, use it for my trim and tonneau but it is not use it and forget it. Has to be applied on a regular basis. Goes on easy, don't need much, you don't want to leave any behind.
