Tuneaus.

Yep... I've been watching them for a while. They are here in San Diego. They seem to have some interesting things for pro detailers.
 
lots of pro detailer stuff...videos..etc...i like the pensander...that looks nice and this....only hold 2 gallons on each side)i usually use a 5 gallon bucket) but im sick of dragging around 2 buckets...:D ...

Thanks for any help.

I've had a couple of Extangs and liked 'em. Zip lock style channel instead of snaps, lots easier. They also have bi-level bows so you can lower 'em and still stretch the cover on it's not sitting in the sun.

Whatever you buy I would advise avoiding snaps. Over time the cover shrinks and there's no way to get things snapped unless the cover is warm and soft.

Manufacturers frequently tout their own labeled cleaner and admonish you to use nothing but... I merely wash mine the same as the rest of the truck. Haven't found any dressing that will still be there after a rain so I don't bother.

I did discover recently that a wipedown with ONR at QD strength improves the look of the tonneau. I keep a sprayer mixed up for wipedowns, looks a bit cleaner and nicer than after a regular wash. 10+ years, 3 trucks and still lookin' good.

One other thing to keep in mind, air dying makes a black tonneau look prematurely crappy. After I blow the water off the truck I wipe down the tonneau and tires first. I rarely need a dressing to achieve a black clean look on either. YMMV.
