    I have never washed mine and yours is so much more rugged. Let the rain take care of it :bikewhoops:

    Turned out sweet by the way!

    Your only option is going to be a pressure washer. Clear coat won't do anything.

    It's black! Ik looks a little grey everyone says think it's the lighting how it hits sometimes, I was going to do tintable but I got just the black raptor. Yes I did it myself! Took couple days prep work etc... But cheaper then regular paint and amazing for offroad

    use Super Clean degreaser etc... Spray it on bed liner, don't wait until it dries but still wet and pressure wash the bed liner ! Comes off easy and clean. Don't use full power of super clean on normal truck it will eat away at your clear coat bed liner is stronger and can handle that's why

    Usually just water under pressure at car wash does the trick for me but I rarely wash it and degreaser for oily or greasy spots from road grime. Is yours texture on the large size?

    There is a Rubicon at my work that is bed liner-ed olive drab green. It looks sick but I think, even though it has some serious equipment, it is more of a mall crawler. It always looks spotless.

    I'd be interested to see if anyone has bed liner-ed a third gen. I think about it every time I hear about super-white tacoma's with paint issues and think about how I would respond to my paint every coming off.

    you put the raptor in a pressure washer?

    i'll have to google that now. I thought the kits came with a schultz gun, and you sprayed it between 30 - 60 PSI.

    Oh I thought you meant for cleaning the raptor liner l, I just hooked up my compressor to the gun you buy with the kit. To spray raptor it requires a special gun yes, I did not use a pressure washer to pray my.raptor lol... Only to clean
