Would it be safe to use the car wash products that have the wax mixed in for the shine with my bedliner on the rockers?

no, you should be fine, only fine buffing, like hardcore buffing will it smooth out, i mean i did something like this when i had my old truck, and had plastidip on there(matte black) and it looked the exact same

Nah, if your hoping the wax in the soap shines the bedliner up some it wont but it wont leave a white residue on it either like regular wax will

If you want a darker black, try Lucas Oil trim dressing, it made a difference in the bedliner with out really makeing it shiney

Buffing bedliner is just going to tear up your buffing pad lol

If you want to dress up your bed liner buy jaxwax super blue and sprayit on and it will look just like new, you can also use it to dress any black plastic your rubber tires um anything that is black and faded will restore it back to new

A good sealant/wax does not leave any residue nor stains trim. I used to think all wax dusted, stained trim, etc. Then, I started reading detailing forums, and bought products not found at typical OTC places. Try Duragloss, Collinite, Surf City Garage which can often be found locally. If you want to go mail order, your options are endless. You won't go back to products like Megs NXT, Turtle wax, Armor All, etc...
