    Default Do you treat your truck's sprayed-in bedliner?

    The subject line pretty much sums it up: Do you spray any kind of treatment -- for example, Armor All -- on your pickup truck's sprayed-in bedliner?

    I bought a new 2011 Tundra last year and it came with a sprayed-in bedliner. The dealer gave me a bottle of treatment and instructed me to apply it about 6 months to a year from then. I used it today and it was a royal pain. It looked milky white like Armor All, but it was pretty sticky and clogged up two hand sprayers (the one it came with, and another one from an empty window cleaner bottle).

    I'm curious if this is a one-time thing or if you guys treat your liner with regularity.

    Thanks.

    I have a Line-x in my truck and all i do to it is spray it out with the water hose every now and then. I've never been a fan of dealer spray-in's because they all seemed cheap to me and there was always alot of overspray.

    My current truck has a drop-in liner, but before this I had an F150 with a Rhino liner which I never treated. Having to treat a bedliner defeats the purpose of the liner IMO. I would hose mine off when I washed the truck, but it just sorta picked up the color of the loads I hauled.

    Nissan does factory bed liners in the Titan. I have a 08 that still looks like new and I have not done a thing other than spay it out with a hose.

    Nope. And I don't wax my muffler, or detail my engine bay, or any other such nonsense. In fact, I think it's been well over two years since it's been washed.

    I used to have a '99 F150 that had a real nice sprayed in bed liner when I bought the truck used, so I don't know what brand it was, but I liked it. And as the others have said, the only "treatment" I ever gave it was to spray it with water to wash it occasionally.

    I had my bed Rhino liner a couple years ago. I do get in and wash it with soap & water about once a year because when we travel a lot of stuff rides back there. I have a soft cover over the bed, not the hard type.
    Of course I don't haul a lot of the stuff you guys do and when I do haul it's most likely a canoe or kayak. The truck was purchased for towing our Lund more that hauling something in the bed.

    Thanks for the responses.

    I have to say, my liner looks brand new after applying the conditioner. (It didn't look bad before, but it looks *really* good now.)

    From now on though, I'm with you guys -- it gets a hose and that's about it.

    Thanks again.
