Hello,

My 2500 hd has line-x spayed over the rails, I know its not the best for looks but i do use the truck and wanted done that way for the extra protection. the spray on is now 2 years old and is fading quite a bit, is there anything that will bring it back and make it look any better?

thanks

P.S. nice fourm lots of good info

First welcome to the group. Second you could try a trim restorer. Like Poorboys Trim Restorer, spray it on let it soak in then buff it off, you probably will have to repeat the stpes a couple of times.

we were out at the Carlisle truck show a few years back and a friend of mine had the same issue and we used Bold N Bright ..I guess TR would work too

Welcome to the site from Sonoma County CA

I did a truck some time back like this and the two suggestions above are good ones, however they are only cosmetic ones just so you know...meaning that you will have to apply it again in a week or two depending how the truck is stored & used.

If you are looking for something OTC Stoners Trim Shine is the choice...its a spray on....spray on let dry for 30 minutes or so...then buff to make sure that its even

I quite like using Meguiar's #40 on both my LineX and Rhino liners. I have one of each and would recommend the LineX over the Rhino but that's another topic. I apply it with a tire application sponge. It isn't too slick or greasy but requires application each time I wash. Some of the other stuff I've tried leaves the bed quite greasy and anything I put in the bed ends up sticking to it. Of course both Rhino and LineX have their own labeled product but it is several times the price of the various products mentioned in this thread. I checked on Rhino's protectant when I first got my liner installed, if I remember correctly they wanted $80 (quart or less), I was later told by someone in the business that it was private labeled 303. I may be wrong but I believe both Rhino and LineX now have some type of spray UV protectant that is a permanent application. I haven't tried 303 for bed liners but I'm thinking it would work just fine also.

I've had good luck with various tire dressings... seems to last longer on the bed than on the tires. Be careful... very slippery.

hmm, thanks for the suggestions. I had thought about some of those but thought i would ask maybe somebody had something what worked perfert. thanks again!

Frequent use of 303 should keep it from fading. I just used it on mine and it dressed it up real nice. 303 is no problem if it gets on the body, just QD it off.
