Hey,
Does anyone have any experience cleaning/protecting a Undercover brand tonneau cover? I have one on my 07 Tacoma, and the grained texture is starting to look pretty sad. There are also a few spots where something spilled on it doesn`t come off with a regular wash. I think it is black fiberglass, but I am not sure.

here is a pic, not on my truck though.

I have used Plexus on it before, but figure I need to use something strong to deep clean all the texture.
Cheers!

Would that clean it and protect, or do I need to use something else to clean it first?
Thanks,

You need to clean it first, You could use wash shampoo or if its really dirty use

BLACKFIRE All-In-One All Purpose Cleaner (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/blackfire-all-purpose-cleaner.html)
$14.99
after that put the 303 on and repeat every few months to keep it looking fresh.


Another option would be http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/autopia_2258_69360163 (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/black-wow-4oz-kit.html)

I think this would work on that, This is some amazing stuff as well if you want less up keep

I would use a mild APC with a soft bristle brush. Then PB Trim Restore to dress it.

Mild APC then some Ultima Trim and tire. Good for 6+months.

Got some 303 protectant locally and gave the top a good scrub then applied the 303. Looks good as new so far. Missed a couple of spots, but I can redo those. I`ll have to pull it into the light and see if some of the stains are gone, fingers crossed.
Thanks,
