Rhino Lining....What should I use?

[SY2565]

I want to make the Rhino Lined bed rails on my truck look at good as the black plastic on my tailgate. Up until now I have not wanted to put anything on them because I park outside everyday. A lot of mornings there is moisture accumulated on top of these bed rails. When I start driving the water drips down the side of the bed and if I had product on this bed rail it would leave streaks. My question is, is there a Meguiar's that will shine these bed rails up but not leave streaks when the moisture drips off?[IMG][/IMG]

You could use something like ultimate black. You would want to apply it thin and even with a foam applicator. After it sits for a few min be sure to lightly buff any excess. That should keep it from streaking.

Hey SY

I needed a second vehicle recently and only little cash to get one in such a short notice and came across a 95 XJ jeep cherokee 2.5 5-speed 4X4, everything works ok but the BAD part is someone applied bed liner over about 95% of the black paint what paint that's not covered looks to be in average condition. So trying to fiqure out how to remove without doing major damage!! So this is a big test bed of trying different techniques and products, so when I seen your thread !

I thought what the hay! I grabbed my Ultimate protectant, an old micro fiber towel and some yellow painters tape, my phone and went outside. (pretty warm, 39 degree's) Applied the tap and remembered Tim Lingor's Review on his test of Ultimate Protectant and followed his technique. ( Thanks Tim) Applied pretty heavy on my old micro fiber towel so as to help get into the pores of the bed liner and to cover as evenly as I could and rubbed this small section about 4 cover passes. Even applied a 2nd application just as heavy as the first, all in all it doesn't look to bad. A major improvment, will do a follow up in a week or 2 with a pic or two too see how long this will stay on and protecting and this will be a great test seeing how our roads are plenty salted right now. I'll stop writing and show the pics.

Here's the poor XJ with bedliner on it.

As you can see this is nasty, can't wait until spring!! This is of the hood that the bottle of Ultimate Protectant is on.

With the product applied and at two different angles so you can see almost straight at it and looking down. When I take the follow up pics I will try to duplicate at same angles.

And the last pic with half the tape removed for a before & after shot. And I'd say if I had rinsed off the surface it would have been better. I just now released I should have applied more protectant down the door further, but also another good test to see if the product will run since I did apply pretty heavy. I also will be buying another bottle of Ultimate Protectant and come spring will at least now I can detail my jeeps Umm!! surface... This just might be a start of a new approach for keeping a bed liner at least somewhat dressed up?

Was thinking along the same lines, thanks!

Thanks SK for the effort. That definintely looks like it may work for me. I give it a try and post pics of the results.
