Maintaining your Renegade Cover 

Fast-forward to when you’re Renegade Cover is installed and you’re caught up enjoying all its perks. Make a mental note now that it’s important to care for it regularly, just like your beloved RAM truck. 

For example, if you start to notice the bed liner coating is fading, use a roller to roll on Armor-All protectant to make it look like new!

This may simply be a part of your annual maintenance, but if you’re often in dusty or dirty conditions it’s a good idea to do it more often.
