Spray-on Truck Bed Liner

Truck beds take a lot of wear and tear, especially when used for work in rural areas like Northeastern Ohio. One simple step you can take towards protecting your truck is to invest in a bed liner. Bed liners are essential for keeping your cargo and your truck bed in good shape. Better yet, spray-on bed liners can be applied to a variety of surfaces on your vehicle to prevent dents and scratches.

There are two main types of bed liners: drop-in liners and spray-on liners. Each one has their advantages, but both create skid-proof, dent-proof surfaces in your truck bed. Drop-in bed liners are convenient because they can be easily applied to the truck and removed easily, if necessary. Spray-on bed liners require some prep work before being applied and are pretty much permanent, though they will wear out over time, even those that have a lifetime guarantee.

The advantage of spray-on bed liners is that they are flexible and won’t crack even when traversing rough terrain. They are generally tougher, and you can also apply the bed liner to other surfaces to protect them. Here are 3 reasons why every truck should have a spray-on bed liner.

Protect Your Cargo

With their skid-proof surfaces, bed liners reduce cargo movement in your truck bed. This protects your cargo from sliding around and becoming damaged. Spray-on liners also act as a shock absorber and reduce vibrations that could also damage cargo. Plus, the plastic drop-in version can vibrate and become loose quickly, which can jar your cargo.

When the drop-in liner was removed, there was rust and lots of paint worn off. The spray-on liner can just be sprayed clean with a hose.

Protect Your Truck Bed

If you don’t have a canopy on your truck, the bed is exposed to the elements and there is potential for weather damage. If you have a spray-on bed liner, you can protect the metal from the elements and prevent rust and other damage that might shorten the life of your truck. If you get a plastic one, they can trap water between the liner and the bed which can lead to rust or corrosion, especially if your truck sits for a long period of time.

Protect Other Surfaces on Your Vehicle

In 2011, the Discovery Channel’s hit TV-show Mythbusters, put spray-on truck bed liner to the test in several experiments. They found that the bed liner protected underlying surfaces from dents and scratches, explosions, and even dog attacks. Spray-on bed liners can be applied to your bumpers, fenders, floorboards, etc. Additionally, the liner will protect these surfaces from rusting and can create a skid-free surface.

Electronic Corrosion Protection?

Car owners living in wintry climates like Ohio are constantly worried about cleaning road salt off their vehicles at the end of the day, to prevent rust from occurring. There are several ways to prevent corrosion. There is undercoating, spraying a tar-based substance on the exposed parts of a vehicle's underbody. There is dripless oil spray, a wax-like substance applied to the entire body of the vehicle, it hardens once it has dried. There is drip oil spray, and that is the most commonly recommended rust protection. But there is one new, greener method of corrosion protection , electronic corrosion protection (ECP). Electronic Corrosion Module protects the entire vehicle ECP emits a low power, pulse-wave, radio-frequency signal across all sheet metal surfaces of the vehicle. It protects against rust perforation that starts from the inside-out or the outside-in, even if it's caused by stone chips or scratches. The module's electromagnetic pulse-wave is effectiv...

Tonneau Cover? What's That?

A tri-fold tonneau truck cover Tonneau covers are hard truck bed covers that protect your truck and the items you carry in it. But why should you have one? Truthfully, the answer is found in simple science and economics. Trucks are not very aerodynamic, so wind is sucked down into the bed when driving, which causes drag. Installing a truck bed cover eliminates the drag and can result in better gas mileage. In some cases, the cover may pay for itself in as little as a year with the money you'll save on fuel! Some other benefits are keeping your cargo secure. First, the cover will keep things from being blown out onto the road and preventing accidents or accidental littering. They also keep undesirable debris, snow, and rain out of your truck bed and off of your cargo. While no truck bed cover is completely waterproof, they are highly effective at protecting your cargo from the elements. Tonneau covers also keep your cargo a complete mystery. Some even come with locking mec...

Ceramic Coating for Vehicles: Cheaper Isn't Better

One of the easiest ways to understand ceramic coating is to look at it like a second layer of protection over your car’s clear coat. Its nanotechnology uses tiny particles to form a very thin, invisible layer, and seal the pores on your car’s finish. This is what causes your car to be hydrophobic, repelling water and keeping dirt off the surface. Ceramic coating is also resistant to UV, light scratches, and more. There are products on the market that are claim to be ceramic coating, but you won't get the same quality and long-lasting shine that you get with a professional ceramic coating. That’s because trained and certified professionals use expensive equipment and have the experience to give your car a very thorough detail. In addition, the products used by professionals are typically different quality than what you can buy off the shelf. Do keep in mind, to get the most out of ceramic coating, you’ll want to prep your car’s surface. That means a thorough wash and detailing wit...
