How to Care for Tonneau Covers

Tonneau covers can be taken through the car wash.

Tonneau manufactures and sells vinyl covers for pick-up trucks. These covers allow you to safely store items inside the bed of your pickup truck without worry of items being stolen, or becoming damaged by rain, snow or other outdoor elements. Just like the rest of your vehicle, the Tonneau cover will need to be cleaned occasionally to keep the truck looking its best. This can be done with a routine similar to the way you clean the rest of your vehicle.

Things You'll Need

• Car wash soap
• Water
• Garden hose
• Soft cleaning brush
• Bucket

Instructions

1. Pour a capful of car wash soap into your cleaning bucket, and fill the bucket with water.

2. Rinse off your Tonneau cover with the garden hose to wash off loose residue.

3. Dip a soft nylon cleaning brush into the soapy water and scrub over the cover.

4. Continue over the entire cap, and rinse with the hose when finished.

5. Let the cap air dry.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also drive the pick-up truck through your local car wash for a thorough cleaning of your Tonneau cover, but do not use car wax on the truck cover.
