I have a new to me 2014 that has white stains on the black spray in liner. I'm not sure what it is, but guessing it is some form of paint. One piece looked like wall spackle.
I have tried a handful of things to clean it (DIY car wash pressure washer soap, mineral spirits, motorcycle chain cleaner, brake cleaner), but haven't had any luck. Ended up putting a nylon brush wheel on my dremel, and the only way it seemed to remove the white, was by gouging the liner.
Spoke with a truck outfitter place here in town that works on that type of stuff, and he told me the best solution was a rubber bed mat, and try to forget about them. Can't put bedliner over bedliner, and removing what is there would cost over $1000 and likely damage the bed due to the work involved.
Other option that came to mind is trying to paint the bedliner with some black paint, but that could end up making it look worse, or start peeling off before long.
I also have some rust spots on the liner, looks like a chain was sitting in a corner of the bed for a while. Haven't put much work into that yet, but I'm thinking that WD-40 may get rid of the rust.
Does anyone else have any thoughts? I don't have any pictures of it at the moment, or I could share them.
