<HTML>Forgive me if I mispelled that. Am wondering what everyone uses on tonnaue covers. Some manufactures will void the warranty if you use silicone based protectants on them. Any suggestions to bring that cover to a nice black appearance?

<HTML>I usually use 303 Aerospace Protectant, which is a water based PDMS dressing, i.e. the "good" silicone. You want to stay away from solvent based silicone, i.e. the "bad" silicone, which will attack and dry out the tonneau cover material.

303 leaves a real nice matte, deep black sheen. Its kind of expensive, but is supposed to have some of the best UV protection available.</HTML>

<HTML>Jerry:

Any water-based dressing let to absorb for a minute then buffed off will look beautiful.

Jay:

How much is 303 per gallon?</HTML>

Take care,
