How to detail your BAKFlip G2 Hard Folding Tonneau Cover
SONAX Polymer Net Shield
In the past year or so I've detailed a number of trucks that have a BAKFlip G2 Hard Folding Tonneau Cover.
The question is always...
How do you detail a BAKFlip G2 Hard Folding Tonneau Cover
What people mean by this is,
What product do you USE on the BAKFlip G2 Hard Folding Tonneau Cover
This past weekend, after thinking about the material, which is a OEM marine grade vinyl laminate. The official recommendation from BAK Industries is to use 303 Aerospace Protectant to protect the surface. This is a GREAT option. I'm a huge fan of 303 Products. I can't think of a single 303 product that has not performed as advertised. So if you have a BAK Industries tonneau cover then 303 Aerospace Protectant is a great first choice.
That said, I'm also a huge fan of SONAX Polymer Net Shield. This is a really interesting product that is very versatile in what you can use it on. Last year I found it worked great on powder coated boat trailers. I'll include the link to my write-up for this application below.

As I was working on the paint correction, in the back of my mind I kept thinking about what would be a good product to not only treat the hard tonneau cover right now, while I'm detailing it, but also what would be a good product for the owner to take care of it moving forward.
The criteria I was looking for are,
Quick, fast and easy.
Makes the hard vinyl surface look good (duh)
Can't STAIN the surface
Has to dry to the touch - can't be sticky or oily
Did I mention - quick fast and easy?
And that's when I thought about SONAX Polymer Net Shield. Then after thinking about it, I got a can and tried it out using the SONAX Plastic Care microfiber applicator pad.
Guess what?
It worked GREAT!
Sorry no pictures of me doing the work, I was the only one around at the time but I really did hand massage the SONAX PNS over the tonneau cover and surrounding plastic trim and it came out looking great!
Here's the good news.... it's now available in a pocket-size aerosol container. This is a great way to test this product out and if you end up liking it or like many others including me, loving it, then next time you place an order with Autogeek bump up to the full size can.
SONAX Polymer Net Shield
Get them both here,
SONAX Polymer Net Shield 75 ml. - $9.99
SONAX Polymer Net Shield 340 ml. $29.99
This SONAX microfiber applicator works pretty well too....
SONAX Care Pad for Plastic
I'm not sure why SONAX labeled and markets this for use on "plastic"? I use them for all kinds of things.
SONAX Polymer Net Shield = good stuff....
