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.

Buffing Q&A: Classy Chassis

Buffing is a commonly misunderstood practice of many professional detailers and dealerships.  If you've seen buffing on our  list of services  and it has made you curious, you're probably not alone in having questions about the process. Here are a few common questions we get about our professional scratch removal service:  What's the difference between buffing and polishing?  Polishing is generally more abrasive than buffing, however, it is typically required because it levels the surface. Buffing removes the lines created by the brush-like polish and creates a bright, shiny surface. It is the most fatiguing and dangerous part of scratch removal: a good buffing job takes at least two hours, and the buffing wheel moves quickly. This is why it's wise to leave the job up to the professionals.  How does buffing work?  Before a detailer can start buffing the car, the surface should be nice and clean so that the buffer does not further impede debris into the...

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...
