Secret Squirrel Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) I just got my 2013 Ford F150 SVT Raptor recently and ordered a lot of Adam's products. I have a few questions. Question 1: Which Adam's product do you recommend for the care of my Bakflip F1 (Folding Bed Cover)? Bakflip recommends to wash with soap and water followed by 3M Formula 303 UV protectant. The top is made of black FRP with EPDM rubber hinges and seals. Question 2: Which Adam's product should I use to clean and protect the clear lens on the instrument panel and the Nav touch screen?

0 07RS4 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Q1: Don't know what a backflip is sorry Q2: Glass cleaner for your Nav screan, the clear instrument panel can be polished out nicely with Revive (if you have scratches, they scratch really easily) and wiped down with a SS and QID for upkeep. I personally wouldn't seal either of them, but I suppose you could use Quick Sealant. Edited May 28, 2013 by 07RS4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JBlack151 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Honestly, I simply use Detail Spray after washing mine down. For the rubber/plastic trim I throw some In & Out Spray on them or even some SVRT will work as well. I've had my F1 for a couple months now and it looks great. BTW Dave, a BakFlip is a bed cover.

0 MrHot88 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I only use a product that's attended for displays. Same stuff I use on my flat panel TV's. No scratches as of yet. Mine is a cleaner/protector, repels dust well. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q1: Stick to soap and water for cleaning. Super VRT can be used if its a porous vinyl/plastic surface. I'm not too familiar with the bakflip so if you can post a pic that will help. Q2: The materials that the gauge clusters and radio displays are made of is very delicate and prone to scratching. When cleaning use DS or WW and a PLUSH towel. Mist the product onto the towel (this gives the dust something to stick to) and gently wipe. Norton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Z71_Denali Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) i have the Bakflip F1 on my truck. i wash it everytime i wash my truck. just Adam's shampoo and wash mitt. to protect it, i use quick sealant. i also spray the hinges with In & Out spray, and the rubber trim along the edges get treated with SVRT. i've had it for a year and a half and it still looks brand new Edited May 30, 2013 by 2010TexasEdition JBlack151 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chewy Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 3M's 303 is good stuff, except it isn't water repellant so it washes off and looks like butt in no time! SVRT FTW Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan, what do you do if you inadvertently got TID overspray on the clear instrument panel plastic? Same procedure? Spray waterless wash on a double soft and gently wipe?

0 zw470 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I've always used 1Z Cockpit for the touchscreen and clear plastic over the instrument cluster (and everything else that wasn't some kind of upholstry...), but my TID should be here for this weekend's cleanup so I'll be switching to that.

Spray waterless wash on a double soft and gently wipe? not to steal the spotlight from Dylan, but that is what you should do. single or double soft will work, although the single may be better for tight spots. the double softs are very thick.
