Cleaning Line-X

[bradleykd]

My truck has sat outside for a few months and the bed collected water and grass, then the water dried on all the gross stuff from the grass to the line-x, then the process repeated a few times....

Any ideas on how to clean it, outside of the general, soap, water, and scrub-brush??

Soap, water and a scrub brush sound like the way to go.

My Line-X dealer told me to use a boat deck cleaner.* I seemed to remember something about a paste in a container, but I wasn't paying attention. Google brought up a bunch of liquid non-skid boat deck cleaner.

Good luck mine still looks nasty

I had all the carpets taken out of my 08 wrangler and the entire tub was sprayed with line-x. After a day out in the woods I use soap, water and a stiff bristle tire brush to scrub it then follow with 303 protectant and it looks like new again.

Castrol superclean splashed in after hosing it down. Then i use a push broom/ regular broom combo to scrub. Hose it out and its good for another 6 months.

I use a pressure washer. Just be careful not to get to close to the liner.

My two favorite methods. I use a little Simple Green to break up the grime, scrub it with a push-broom, and then power wash it out. Gets it pretty clean, for a truck bed!

When our's gets nasty, I use a boat deck brush (like a push broom but smaller with stiffer bristles) and some Ivory dish soap. Takes a bit of elbow grease, but it comes out looking great!

Take it to the quarter car wash, and go from there..

Is there anyway to get the black luster back like when it was first sprayed?

I also heard they now have some kind of special sealant line-x extra?

meguiars hyperdressing will help protect it from fadding.

I appreciate wanting to take care of your vehicle, but it's a truck bed! Does anyone walk up and look in the bed to see how it looks? (Actually, maybe they do).

My Line-X is 11 years old and gets a pressure wash maybe twice a year. It looks fine but not black like when it was new.
