Best cleaner / protectant for Sentry CT canvas tonneau cover?

[Vettereddie]

I've had my tonneau for a little over a year now and want to keep it fading or staining in the sun. Is there a decent product for canvas available at a reasonable price ($10-20)? I'm using turtle wax hybrid solutions paste wax, ceramic spray coating and 3-in-1 detailer on the paint. For the trim I use 303 Automotive protectant but it says not to use on fabrics (canvas).

303 makes a tonneau cleaner but it doesn't list any UV protection, has anyone used the 303 fabric guard or another product to improve water resistance and protect against fading?

I haven't used 303 fabric cleaner specifically, but I'm a fan of them in general, for what it's worth.

Haven't used anything yet on the roll-up on my Mav, but when I had Porsche Boxsters I used a product called RaggTopp.

Thanks, looks like they've got a spray bottle cleaner and a separate aerosol protectant with UV resistance, did it work well enough for you? Worried the aerosol won't last too long, prefer spray bottle application.

This works great for all your outside coverings. Good inside vehicle but I started using Turtle ceramic green bottle for interior. A little goes a long way.

Thanks guys, quick reminder the Sentry CT is canvas (fabric) and not vinyl or plastic, otherwise the 303 Automotive would be an easy fit. Since the 303 says not for canvas, I worry about other vinyl protectants on it as well.

I used both - the cleaner does a good job and I used it instead of car wash soap on the convertible top. The aerosol protectant I sprayed on a couple of times a year and the tops always looked pretty much like new.

Yes, the Sentry CT is a different material. I debated getting that at first but went with vinyl.
You could contact Truxedo to see what they recommend, but i believe they are owned by Real Truck now.

I had used 303 on my boat enclosure, it seemed to preserve the Sumbrella, but the backing seemed to get brittle, and it didn’t happen on the original cover as nothing was really used on it , my cover is a Rudd, convertible top looking material. Kinda looking a product too, mine is under roof , but age will get there

Would Lucas Slick Mist work?
