How to Care for Tonneau Covers

How to Care for Tonneau Covers thumbnail
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
