Bed liner fading
I bought my truck last year and had the dealer install a spray in bedliner. I just got back from deployment last week and took my truck out of the storage lot and the Hawaii sun did quite a number on my bedliner ( I know my fault for not covering it.) Is there any product out there that you guys recommend using to touch this up that will hold up well? Would like to keep it looking new considering how much I paid for it at the dealer. Thanks for the help!
Whatever you use, it will be quite a job.
I've used all kinds of those restore products on my vehicles.
The 2 products that have worked the best for me are:
1. Collinite 845 insulator wax. I put this stuff on the treads of my step bars a couple months back and they are still looking good and not slippery. This stuff is great on the paint, plastic, rubber and one guy says he uses it on glass also. Link :
2. Stoner Trim Shine. I have used this on all my trim both rubber and plastic. Spray it on, leave it all night and wash the vehicle next day. It does not harm the paint. Link :

my local LineX dealer said the base spray on liner will fade with time, for $150 more he would recommend the Kevlar spray on. he could add a color for another $100 plus the $499 base, priced me out all together.
I would first try the Stoner Trim Shine. A $6 or $7 can of the stuff is worth the experiment. I've never used it on a spray-in bed liner but I've used it on several (too many to count) vehicles plastic trim that fades to grey and have had it make it look like new every time. Including my sister-in-laws Chevy Avalanche. Like NEW! Spray it on and walk away.

Thanks for all the input guys. I think I will most likely try the Stoner Trim Shine and see where that gets me. Worst case scenario I may take it Bed Liners Hawaii (the guys that installed it for the dealer) and see if there it anyway for them to restore it.
I am looking into a bed cover which among other things will prevent this from happening again. Anyone have experience using the paragon bed covers?

Depending on what spray in you use, most sell a product made just for that.
If it's a Rhino Liner, they sell a product called Rhino Shine, you put it on a rag and wipe around the whole surface. I'm sure the other brands having something similar
