OK...my Retrax tonneau cover came with a one step glossy black paint. After about a year, the rails could use some love, but being that I'm from a base coat, clear coat world, what's the best way to tackle the one step ole' school paint job care? Would products designed for clear coat work here? Or should I stick with something like a mild rubbing compound and then hit it w/ a good coat of wax?

Thanks for any tips,

Tony

 

I'm assuming you're talking about 'single-stage' paint?

 

roger that...

 

Tony,

Most products today are "safe for all finishes". However, I'm not familar with the type of paint on that tonneau cover? Is it automotive grade paint, or other? I would check with the manufacturer to see what they recommend.

 

It is an automotive grade paint, but I'm guessing like RP stated, it's a "one-stage" paint, very similar to how a lot of the older vehicles pre-1990 came from the factory. Check out the gallery photos to see what I'm talking about.
