Spray in Bedliner Maintenance & Care: Cleaning, Repairs, and Long‑Term Protection
Your liner is built to work. A few simple habits keep it looking sharp and performing for years. This guide covers first‑week care, routine wash methods, stain removal, small repairs, and when to refresh texture or UV protection.
0–7 Days: The Easy Win Window
Heads up: Most liners are light‑use safe after ~24 hours, but heavy loads and sliding abrasive cargo should wait 3–5 days for best results.
- No harsh chemicals while the coating builds strength.
- Avoid dragging sharp edges (shovels, engine blocks). Use a moving blanket/cardboard.
- Keep it dry the first 24 hours other than brief mist from rain.
Routine Cleaning: Simple, Fast, Safe
Most of the time, a hose and mild soap are all you need. For caked mud or clay, let water soak for a minute to rehydrate before rinsing.
Do
- Rinse first to float grit off the surface.
- Use pH‑neutral soap and a soft brush for stubborn soil.
- Pressure wash at a safe distance: ~12–18 in away with a fan tip.
- Open tailgate and drains so water/soap can exit cleanly.
Don’t
-
- Use solvents like lacquer thinner, brake cleaner, or acetone.
- Hold a pressure‑washer tip right on the surface or use a pin‑point nozzle.
- Apply tire shine or silicone dressings—these attract dirt.
