I have tried a heap of stuff but most of the time it runs and puts black run lines down the side of the car .I have even been told to use Vasso? Not sure what to believe.

But fades pretty quick in the sun... also hard to keep a cosistent look... some parts look fresher then others
Guest Basher_tsv Guests Posted 06/06/04 11:49 PM Posted 06/06/04 11:49 PM My black hardtop cover on my old AUII ute started to fade badly after 12months from new. I tried amoural etc. but nothing worked.Ford offered to replace it or colour code it ... so I went the paint job.Although I think you are talking about the soft cover ... just find a new ute owner who went the hard top option and get theirs cheap Sticker arrived also Missxr .. thank!B

NOT that harsh stuff at the car wash washed it with palmolive dish washing liquid ... let it dry .... applied an Armourall product for canvas (I'll check the exact name ) I don't use the tonneau much - the tub is easier to cleanI agree ... 2 years is a good run though

It's only faded.Canvas cleaner sounds good, as long as it doesn't run colour down the sides......

Other ute owners please help me out here, you's know what im talking about!!!If you do (ie yours is identical to the one's coming out on brand newie's), I might have a "spare" lying around at work that might fit up..... Im coming to Sydney next week, can bring along if u like.
