Default Tonneau cover maintenance

I'm wondering if there is any certain oil or other product I can put on my tonneau cover of my truck. I don't know the brand off hand, but my last cover lasted a few years before the dry rot set in. This one is a few years older and is a lot better quality than the previous, so I want to prevent it from getting dry rot. I was thinking maybe some mink oil? Any thoughts? I can have the brand and model posted in a few hours.

Another good product is 303. My dealer told me to not to use oil on min. No armor all or silicones either. It will make it rot. I have a Access cover warranted for life. A roll up.
Good luck.

We make a cleaner for our vinyl tonneau covers: ACCESS Cover Care Cleaner. It does a great job getting a cover clean and adds a layer of UV protection.
