My factory soft tonneau cover was getting pounded by dirt/grime/random nasty stuff. I washed it everytime I washed my truck and it never seemed to help and seemed to get worse by the day. So I went looking around and found this:

Well it came in today and I just had to try it, freezing cold and all. The label says cleaning will be more difficult below 54* and the temps today def were. I done this using water hose pressure, thumb over end of hose technique , so if you done it at the carwash or something with actual pressure it may turn out even better for you. The label on the cleaner said to let it sit for 10-20 minutes in the heavy spots, I let it sit about 5 becuase the wind was blowing and it was starting to dry the cover. I used a firm brush to scrub it and it's unreal the brown stuff that came off of it. The protectant said to use above 40* and it was like 43* when I done it, barely made it. There are a few spots of dirt left on there but I'll clean it better if I get a random warm day and actually let it sit the full time. It brought off about 90% of the dirt and grime that was on it(even took off some tree sap), so I'm happy given the conditions. It's well worth the $34 to buy. :beer:
It was hard to take pics of but I did what I could to show the difference.
Before(I darkened the image in PS to help show how dirty it was):
After(cleaning & protectant applied):
