Cleaning my bed liner

[Villalobos]

Had the truck about a month, previous owner took very good care of it. Bed liner, however, was neglected. I grabbed some stuff that I had lying around: Mother’s black streak remover, smells like a citrus cleaner. I use it on my camper so I know it’s a gentle cleaner. Sprayed it on and let soak then used a plastic bristle brushed and scrubbed it in, then rinsed with water and let dry. Then used the Mother’s VLR. I was going to use microfiber, but thought about the snags. Just sprayed it on thick and blotted it in with a compound pad. Worked great!

Not sure why posted 6 sets of pics

Nice job, BTW, you posted 6 sets based on the fact that you are so proud of the job you did.

Looks very clean! I need to do this to mine.

Bucket of soap and a nylon broom is what I use and looks as good as new. But with the dirt roads and no tailgate seal, looks the same after a drive haha

Man! That looks 100% better. Well done.

I scrub mine with Simple Green and a wheel brush once or twice a year.
It's got a bed cover, but it's got a hard life (it IS a work truck).

is that a spray in liner?

 

[Villalobos]

Yes, it’s on the window sticker under options, as spray-in bed liner.

You should re-spray it with some Raptor bedliner, you would only need maybe 2 bottles just to get that nice deep black and better looking texture again ... something to think about ...

I'm about to spray my truck with it, doing the bumpers, bed, fender flares, grille ... can't wait !

Me too, I just ripped mine out by myself with minimal marks underneath on my bed, I got lucky. But bulk head will need a little touch up paint wise. I used a little rubbing alcohol to clean it up for now.

So much better now, those plastic bedliners are terrible and can trap dirt and moisture for sure.

I went with a Gator EFX hard Tonneau cover and dry in there so far!

Great Job! I would have just re-sprayed more bed liner. I'll consider this next time though.

 

[Villalobos]

You probably still would want to clean it before spraying more, no? Can you just rip out a spray in liner?

Can you just rip out a spray in liner?

Not if the bed was prepped properly before it was sprayed on. I've seen pics of OEM spray liners come off in large sections. Line-X offers a ReNew option for spraying over existing spray in liners.

Forever Black Bedliner Gel


This stuff is the bomb.

The liner wasn’t faded, just dirty. Truck has a hard tonneau cover, guessing that protected from fading. More bed liner spray or dye wasn’t necessary. This was cheap as I already had stuff lying around and a bit of my time.. I got lucky with my truck, and loving it. Thanks for the suggestions, will keep in mind if I ever need to restore it, this was just a clean and protect.
