What is the best thing to clean and shine the stock Tonneau cover? And also what is the best thing to clean the gray part of the Lightnings seats? I have some Blue Corral carpet cleaner, it says dri-clean on the can. I heard you can use this, but I want to see what everyone here uses first before I try it. THANKS, Larry

I wash with my regular car wash. (Zaino). But the secret to keeping it looking good is to use 303 Protectant after you wash. My cover is 2 years old and still looks brand new.

Not sure it has as good of UV protection as 303 (303 rocks ) but I usually use a 3M product called "Vinyl and Leather Restorer" I don't have the part number available but you can get it at auto body places. Looks nice and not greasy.

Does 303 have a brand name or is the brand name 303 PROTECTANT? Can you get it at a auto parts store? And what about the gray parts of our seats? I've never cleaned mine yet, but there not really all that dirty. The drivers side bottom left bolster is looking a little dirty.It's where I slide in and out of my seat, it gets most of the wear.

The 303 is named "303 Aerospace Protectant". It's not generally in auto part stores but rather camping tralers, motor home, boats etc. sales businesses. The reason being is since most those type of vehicles sit for long periods of time, and usually out doors in the sun the owners use the 303 to protect the tires, and other plastics that may be in the sun.

I don't think there really is anything that is better then the 303 for protecting against UV and that is why you see it at the places I mentioned above. Zaino makes a nice tire dressing that has UV protection but I still use the 303 over the Zaino...

If your willing to pay a bit more,Extang makes something thats called tonno tonic.Its the same thing except they price it higher under their name.You can find 303 online so you can save some $$$.
