How do you guys clean your Extang?

What you should use depends on which Trifecta you have - the vinyl one or the "Signature Series" that's vinyl on the bottom and has a "canvas-like" top that looks like a canvas convertible top.

I have the signature series and I use some generic convertible top cleaner/conditioner that any auto place is going to have. The one recommendation I have for that top is, don't use a soap on it that has wax in it, or any of the additives for paint. If you have the straight vinyl tonneau, the soap shouldn't matter. For anything that's straight vinyl, I've found that a product called "Vinylex" works great - far better than that Armor-all stuff that runs and gets sticky. You can get Vinylex in most any auto store or somewhere like Fred Meyer's... it's in a blue-green colored spray bottle. Good stuff.

Then again, the 303 Aero stuff is supposed to be good too, but once again... it may depend on which tonneau you have.

 

My local Pep Boys never heard of Aerospace 303. They did have something called Vinylex by Lexol which so far seems to work very well, and not that expensive.

Great stuff. I use a foam wax pad to apply and a microfiber cloth to wipe it dry. A little goes a long way. I usually aply after every other wash.

This is a great job for the bulk buy packs of microfiber towels from one of the bix box retailers like Sam's Club.

 

Armor-All's great for interiors, but not the best for exterior application because it washes off too readily. I use something I got from an RV and boat center; 'marine grade something or other'. Can't remember the name but it comes in pretty big bottles (one gallon cans, if you want) and lasts a long while providing protection from UV.
