faded spray in bedliner, use armor gloss

Agent 409 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-13-2006, 08:29 PM

after about two years my line-x bedliner got pretty faded. not really a big deal or anything. i didn't really care that much, but my buddy got his truck done and i dropped him off at the dealer and the owner sold me on this stuff called armor gloss. it was $30 for a 16oz bottle and it covers the entire bed. you just apply it with a sponge, brush, or roller. i used a sponge and it took about 2 hours. the bottle says like 20 minutes, but i'm meticulous. i attached pics which are also in my gallery. just thought i'd post this info if anyone cared at all. made it look brand new again.

Meguire's Endurance tire dressing is supposed to also work.

this stuff actually uses more polyurethane for the liner. not just a gloss.

I contacted ArmorGloss yesterday by email, as yet, no reply.

I've heard of people using all sorts of stuff that they say works, such as carburetor cleaner, MopNGlo, etc.

Just remember, opt for Nason or Xtra and you won't need any of this stuff.

Nason was, Xtra was not, and actually another product called Ultra Shield was.

just an update to this thread which i didn't specify in my original post.

this is not to be confused with something like Armorall or 303 protectant. this is permanent and not a car wash "Detail" type item. applying this product on your spray in bedliner is similar to painting it.

i have had this on my truck for almost 2 years living in Phoenix, AZ with extreme temps and sun exposure. it still looks dark.

i can't find it anywhere online. i got it directly from the owner of my local line-x shop. i would say call your local shop and see if they have it, if not give the main line-x headquarters a call and see if they could ship it to you.
