I've never had a tonneau cover on a truck. Any suggestions on how to treat/protect and maintain it? Doing my pre-delivery research.

I learned about 303 Aerospace Protectant and 303 Tonneau Cover Cleaner from the Ranger 5G forum about 3 years ago. I used it on my Ranger's tonneau cover and other black plastic trim. It looked as good as new when I traded it in last week for the Maverick. The 303 Protectant has great UV protection. I would recommend the 303 Aerospace Protectant. The cleaner just seems to be soapy water and any good carwash product should clean it Ok before applying the protectant.

303 will keep your bumper and bed caps protected from UV rays and maintain that dark rich black color too. I also use it on my door seals and the black area around my windows and side mirrors. Good stuff! :)

What Reformed Ranger Owner said.
303 is a winner, buy the gallon size, you’ll thank me later. So many uses, besides those mentioned above, works great on Weathertech mats, after you clean, just spray & wipe, and they’ll look brand new again. I would add that it helps to apply evenly.

I spray my tri fold with 303. Got some samples many years ago and agree its great stuff. One of the biggest benefits is its not as greasy as Armor All or other products. Less shine more like a matte or satin shine.

I use the 303 all the time works great.
