    Any suggestions on how to keep it from attracting so much dust and dirt or how to make it easier to clean? I have been using VTR or tire shine on it without a lot of luck.

    I use a Swiffer dust mop with a new pad and in about 2 minutes time - clean! Works great. I previously applied McGuires vinyl cleaner treatment and noticed the dust and figured if that mop pad worked in the house why not my truck. No streaks either. Give it a shot, I’ll bet you already have one at home.

    I just tried this on my tires for the first time and it seems to have lasted a while, I will give it a shot on my tonneau.

    Spray it on and wipe it in with a microfiber towel.

    Use Carpro Leather coating. It will work better than any dressing and will not wash off after rain.

    I tried the Cover All and it still looks good after two weeks. It is a bit tacky but it doesn't show dust and it does wipe off and still looks coated.

    I usually just wash with meguiars neon yellow stuff (the wash/wax combo) and if it's looking rough with that after it dries I'll spray some 303 Marine protectant on it.
