    So as the thread title say, I'm looking for something that will clean and protect my vinyl bed cover. I've used Meguiars cleaner and shine and it always runs down the paint finish next day. I don't care about it really being shiny, matte is just fine, plus something that also protects. Thanks!!

    How much are you putting on? Just spray on a microfiber and wipe it on.

    I personally use Griots products. Quality products and excellent customer service.

    Maybe that's why it runs, I spray it on directly on the surface than wipe.

    With vinyl or leather protectants less is more.

    minor tweaks
    Second Vote for 303, it's great stuff to spray on any of the rubber or plastic components under the hood also, stuff like the rad hoses, CV and steering boots, no need to wipe it off on the rubber parts, it's applied to keep the rubber and plastic from drying out.

    It's all I've used on mine since it was new, and it still has that new appearance... a friend of mine uses it on her bronco top as well

    That's awesome! It does a fabulous job of maintaining the integrity of the vinyl. I'm sure it's working wonders for the Bronco top, as well.
