This may sound like an advertisement but it's not. I bought an Access roll-up tonneau because I needed access to the bed and a weatherproof cover over it too. Then it became apparent I would need a preservative for it (also to keep it nice and black :) ), so I called the Access factory and asked for a recommendation. They suggested any preservative that uses a water base with lanolin - do NOT use silicon or citrus, they said.



All the usual products I found - McGuire, etc. - have silicon in it, but I finally found a product by Protective Products Corp. (PPC) called Formula 2 Protectant/Cleaner that works wonderfully well.



I buy it by the gallon straight from the factory - 888. 772. 1277 - or online at www.protectiveproductscorp.com because no one locally (Colorado Springs) carries it. PPC also carries other stuff along the same line, but I've never tried any of it.



I talked to the owner, a fellow named Dan or Dean Bider, who answered the phone when I called (!). He said NAPA stores used to carry his stuff but stopped when they began carrying a cheaper product. Bider agrees his product is expensive but said he refuses to compromise quality.



Again, this is a personal recommendation, not an advertisement. Hope it's helpful to you guys using the Access roll-up tonneau.
 
I have a guy at work with an 04 F 350 with a power tonneau and he absolutly swears by the stuff. I asked him how long he has had that cover and I was SHOCKED to hear that was the seccond truck it was on :eek: It looked new.
 
Precisely why I recommended it. I wouldn't put my name on something I didn't believe in. Nice to hear another report! Thanks muchly!
