What do you find to work best on tonneau covers? I'm looking for something that's not too glossy, lasts a good while, and doesn't run down paint when it gets wet. I have WG exterior trim sealant but haven't had a chance to try it on a tonneau cover yet. I also have 303AP on order.

Doesl it run when it gets wet?

I have been using PERL at 3:1. Looks good and seems to last longer than 303.

I have been using 303 Protectant on the Extang tonneau cover on my 1995 Dakota since I bought it in 1995 and it still looks great. The product does not run in the rain and the UV protection has been outstanding. BTW, I live in San Antonio, Texas. We get a LOT of sun here.

303 isn't what I would suggest. It's water based and won't last long.
PERL ran for me all over the paint.
Duragloss vinyl dressing and their convertible top dressing are both good. Maybe try UTTG too.

I think WG exterior trim sealant works great on a tonneau cover. I have it on the cover for my truck and I haven't had to touch it in 8 months other than normal washes. I do park in a garage but it comes out to troll on a frequent basis. I had a new back window installed and the guy at the glass shop asked how I kept a 10 year old truck looking like a new one. The WG exterior trim must be doing something. I told him I replace the glass every 10 years to keep it looking new.

Just use Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant. I see about 3-4 months out of it outside 24/7, sometimes longer. A little goes a long way and it doesn't run.

I use Tonno Tonic, which is recommended by Extang for all their covers.
