    I got a Bakflip G2 tri-fold and it works great. I am getting ready to wash the truck and wondered what I should put on the G2 to keep it looking like new. Should I use something like Armor All or is there something better to keep it looking new for years?

    I wouldn't use Armor All as when it rains it is going to run all down the sides of the truck. Something like Adams Super VRT is water proof and will offer better UV protection than Armor All.

    I believe they are like a black powder-coated aluminum panels.

    Oh ok. well, personally, if its just powder coated, I wouldnt even apply anything to the surface. IF you wanted to darken the appearance of the black, theres a lot of options out there. Chemical Guys' Fade2Black is an aerosol that works well with a nice finish. I guess I would really need to see teh finish before recommended what to apply though.

    Just looked at the description. Yea, if its just for protection, I probably wouldnt apply anything to the surface. You may want to ask them directly though.
