    I got my truck a few weeks ago know, and it has this white "corrosion" like stuff in the bed (mostly by the cab). It comes off very, very hard, even using strong dish soaps.

    Has anybody else had this issue, know what causes it, and/or know on an easy solution to get rid of it?

    Thanks.

    Looks like something was spilled at some point (paint?) Does it have a texture to it, or is it just discolored?

    it looks like the back of my bed it looks like it's just dirt buildup but at the same time maybe it's like some sort of calcium deposit where the truck was hanging out at and it was wet constantly and then dry get wet and then dry. CLR maybe. :notsure:

    No not really any texture, its almost like some sort of deposit?

    Good call on the CLR...yes, it could be calcium...I hadnt thought of that...Ill try some on small spot first.

    What is "skeet"?

    I think it is a combination of hard water stains mixed with dried soap from car washes that gets baked in.. I have a rubber bed mat in mine and under it this stuff collects along with dirt.... To get it out I use car wash brush and scrub it..

    That's what we're all gonna look like the day HP/empeegee/torque numbers drop, or me when I finally get confirmation that my allocation order is in the computer and I've got a build number for it.
