TruXedo's Pro-TeX 1704511 is a 20-oz spray that tidies up, nourishes and shields soft vinyl tonneau covers, and the same bottle works on tires, dashboards, trim and convertible tops. Per the manufacturer's product page, it is a water-based cleaner and protectant for soft tonneau covers, with built-in UV inhibitors. It is silicone-free and made in the USA.
Silicone-based dressings are the usual alternative, and the manufacturer warns that those can dry out, stain and damage soft vinyl, so a silicone-free formula is the safer pick for a cover you want to keep supple. The protection is UV-focused, so a vinyl cover treated regularly holds its finish longer than one left bare. The manufacturer says a single 20-oz bottle provides enough product to clean, condition and protect a tonneau cover for months. Owners searching for a vinyl soft tonneau cover protectant spray, a silicone-free UV protectant for truck bed covers, or a Pro-TeX 1704511 cleaner will find it covers all of those needs in one bottle.
Application is straightforward DIY: spray it on and wipe it off for a fresh, clean look. No tools beyond a clean cloth are needed, and a microfiber towel works well for the wipe-down. Because details on fabric, carpet and porous leather surfaces vary, confirm with the manufacturer before using it on anything other than vinyl. Match the product to the cover material, not the truck, when choosing a protectant for a soft tonneau cover.
