i have a fiberglass one from a.r.e. and i just wash it like normal like the rest of the truck.
if you have a plastic one thats black i would recommend "mothers back to black" works great on porous plastic , any color.

The tonno tonic works pretty well. I use it on the black plastic pieces around the truck.

I use tonno tonic from extang on my soft cover. They sent me a free bottle when I ordered the cover. I like it so I ordered another bottle. First one lasted two years for me.

Wouldn't armor all work just fine?

Anybody that uses the automatic car wash, do you leave your soft tonneau cover on?

Yeah, for the most part the bed stays dry, but a little bit does get past the velcro, not too bad though.

I never use automatic car wash. I don't trust them. Just a few days ago a friend of mine with an '01 ram used the carwash and it scratched both sides of the truck.

Plus when it rains, you will have a slimy mess down the side of your truck.
I think TruXedo has conditioner too.
