I recently bought a pickup truck that the previous owner had installed a quality spray-in bed liner on. It still looks pretty good, but I don't have a cover over it and I live in AZ, so it will see a lot of UV light. What's a good product to apply over it to keep it from fading?
 
After I wash my factory spray-in liner (Megs W&W), I'll usually dilute some 303 in a bucket and go over the whole thing with a medium/soft 8" brush head.

To be honest, my liner has faded a bit it the almost 6 years I've had it, but not nearly as bad as some guy's I've seen who never treat theirs.

Also, I realize NY sun is nowhere near AZ sun, but I hope this helps a bit.
 
I've got a Chevy with a factory spray-on liner and it was faded in a matter of months. The truck sits in a garage most of the time so it's not horrible but it has definitely faded. You can see the original sheen on the underneath surfaces that are shaded from the sun but the exposed surfaces have faded.
 
What about something like M37 Trim restorer for a longer term treatment?

The heat from the sun alone will keep the layer soft in AZ. I'd invest in a lid. I know in Edmonton on a hot summer day if my work truck is I'm the sun and I go to put metal in etc. It has moved the liner like tar on the road acts. Soft and sticky. To the pot and I go flat head screwdriver could strip spots etc.

That would be my first concern over the fading

I have an 03 F-150 after market spray on liner and have never washed the liner, only hosed off and it still looks great.
My truck is outside 24/7 in HI sun.
Best thing i did was buy a rubber mat as nothing slides around when loaded.
It's a truck!
 
Spray in liners IMO are a great use case for spray on rinse off SiO2. Hydro blue, wet coat, SS clutch etc.

But, ultimately a cover is the way to go.
