    I just put a roll up tonneau cover on last month and love it. I have protected it with 303 and keep it covering the bed 100% of the time. Just wondering what you guys do during the winter. We get snow and I don't really care if it's open or closed during the winter. Is it better for the cover to be rolled up or covering the bed? Or does it even matter? I don't mind the snow in the bed for weight purposes.

    I'm on 11 years with my Access Lorado, and have put spray on stuff maybe 3-4 times. Other than that, it gets whatever the car wash soap consists of, and has held up fine.

    I first discovered 303 more than twenty years ago when I was maintaining two sail boats. 303 was developed as a UV block for fabric airplanes. All my sails got yearly treatments and it really helped.
    303 = money well spent.

    Yes, I have been using it a long time also. I use it on boats, kayaks etc. and now my cover. They also have the marine 303. I haven't used it yet though.
