Merry Christmas Geeks,

I saw a thread recently about applying a sealant or glaze to Rhino truck bed liners. However, I can't seem to find it. So, my question is what is a good product to put down on a bed liner to protect it. I want it to keep its sheen, but not be slippery, as I walk on it and have cargo in there from time to time.

Thanks
 
Ive never heard of a sealant or glaze for spray in liners but I do see some people have a bed mat on top of their liner. I had a spray in bedliner in my old bed and it never scratched, but I only put my motocross bike in it.
 
I actually used Perl 1:1 with water and a spray gun from Harbor Freight. Sprayed it on and wiped down with a Terry Cloth. Did the 6' bed with about 1oz of perl. The truck does not get used every day but did get rained on daily while on vacation for 10 days in September and still looks good so far. I did this about 5-6 months ago.

Ive never heard about protecting spray in bedliners as they are pretty resistant to chemicals and physical weathering. Most of the time the things I haul get scuffed up rather than the liner itself.
 
Spraying Opti Coat might work, but I don't know how slippery it will become. Part of this strikes me as funny, though. I have a truck and I want to protect the bed from getting scratched, so I put in a spray on bed liner. OK. Now how do I keep the bed liner from getting all scratched up?

Youre scratching your spray on bed liner? What are you putting in there :eek:

I'm sorry, I should have put it in quotes. It was just a joke. I don't really have a truck or a spray on bed liner. :laughing:

Ohh I get it now. Haha spray on bed liners are great imo. I like the look of them better than just bare paint on the bed. Theyre available in almost any color and ive seen some pretty nice color combos.

Yes, I realize it seems odd to protect the protection. Where does it end?
My main concern is the black area around the bottom of the truck. That is Speedliner that I had sprayed on by a local body shop. They have a nice sheen to them when they are new, but are vulnerable to UV fade. So, my question is, what is a good product to put over that area to keep it from fading.
