So I got my spray in liner (local brand, "Smith's Ultimate") a month or two after getting the truck. The material itself has held up great, but it has certainly lost the glossy look it had when new. I can really tell looking up by the bed rails, it fades to the 'new' glossy appearance.

It's going to get a 'post-winter' Simple Green scrub down, but is there something to spray on it to make it at least 'deep black' again?
I don't want it to get slippery by any means.

Mothers back to black maybe?

My spray on liner gets nasty from paint and drywall. Every six months or so I buy a couple cans of the ruetoleum spray on bed liner and give it a new coat completely. But I doubt any one else's gets as nasty and dirty as mine.

Adams All Purpose Cleaner followed by Adams Super VRT... Silicon free which means it doesn't attract dirt, and SPF 35 which means it ACTUALLY protects what you put it on and doesn't just make it shiny!

A less slippery alternative would be their In and Out spray, but it won't last as long as SVRT.

I'd hit it with SVRT, and then level it off after letting it sit over night with a MF towel to get rid of the excess and make it matte up some.

I did just purchase their deal of the day...
APC and SVRT (though it really was ment for the tires / wheel wells)
Guess I'll give it a shot when it gets here.

APC will blow Simple Green out of the water. It's MUCH stronger. APC cleans rubber like mad.

On all terrain tires it may be easier to make SVRT into what's been nicknamed MILK. It's where they water it down a bit to make it sprayable. I&O spray works for this as well, but isn't as durable as SVRT.

Under Carriage Spray on the wheel wells after a good cleaning will make them POP! Plus is smells like grape soda. IMO, the best smelling product they have.

Thanks for the info! I'm rolling stock Wrangler HPs, no ATs (Yet)
