squeedunk Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hey all,I have a new truck with an access roll up cover on it and am wondering if it will get damaged in a touchless car wash. The water pressure seems to be okay but I am concerned about the dryer. Has anyone had any damage due to these things? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hotrod1 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I have never had a problem with mine in 5 years. I just try to remember to have the cover closed with the locking tab things shut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jwhjr Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I had a cover nowhere near as nice as the Access ones and I never had any issues in the car washes. As stated, just make sure its closed and locked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 upnorth Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I run mine through a touchless wash and dryer and never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 echotrail Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 No problem with mine either in the touchless washes. On the subject of toneau covers, I've been using a product called Back to Black to keep it looking nice. Has anyone used other products with good results?

0 MNmikew Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I've had my Access for seven years now using both touch and touchless, never a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dave Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Never a problem in 10 years here either. Once I forget to secure the velcro on the sides. It was flapping quite a bit but no damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jigging-matt Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Never had a problem with mine in over 5 years. The Back to Black works good. sometimes just a little armour all helps to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MNmikew Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I've been wary in putting a treatment on mine due to UV concerns. Does this Back to Black product protect against this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Hibbing Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I was advised by a professional detailer to avoid armorall. He said it will soften the material and it will stretch. He said that there is a special treatment specifically for covers. I have a bottle but it is stored away right now. If I can find it I'll repost.

0 Booth Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 You will have no problem with your cover. In fact if you decide to get your truck washed in a touch, or brush wash wash, you will find you get a better wash because of the cover.Thanks,Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 aczr2k Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 303 protectant is excellent for tonneau covers, there is also stuff called tonneau tonic (heard about never used it). Oh yeah like everone else said no problems with the car wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
