Default Another bed-liner thread

So I've searched through every imaginable thread on here regarding bed-lining but opinions vary and often times specifics are left out of arguments and simply left as "I like this product" answers. SO...I'd like to ask that you all be a bit more specific if you have the knowledge.

My question is, what is the most durable, non-slip, color-retaining bedliner?

Right now my top two choices (from my research) would be Line-X or Rhino-Liner (TuffGrip). Anyone agree or disagree? I will be getting this professionally applied and cost is of little importance though money-saving advice is always welcome!

Look into Ameraguard. Just google "ameraguard bedliner". They are doing some new things with bed liners to drastically improve UV protection. Our local dealer warrants their application for life.

Hands down, U-Pol Raptor Liner.

$110 can do your entire interior and some exterior goodies no problem. SUPER durable.

More coats, more durability. Same consistency as the expensive products.

$110 is 1000x cheaper than a place will charge u and you get the satisfaction and experience of doing it yourself. Its not hard. My thread above is my first try at painting aside from my rims.

I can't speak for Rhino, but I have had Line-X in my Jeep for the year I have owned it. I have pretty much beat the crap out of my interior and there is no change in it. I just spray it down with water and it is as good as new.

I also had it in my old pickup and it was great. I had that truck for three years and the Line-X looked brand new when I traded it.

thanks for the suggestions, I like the look of the Raptor liner, but I won't be doing the installation of whatever I choose. I will have it done professionally.

Also I forgot to mention above, or rather ask...please say what you know regarding the ease of cleanup after product "x" is applied. eg...does one easily wipe off vs. needing to be sprayed clean, etc.

Thanks guys (and gals)

These guys are pretty lame but they do some cool comparisons with Rhino Liner

I picked up the duplicolor bed armor on sale. $99.99 - $10 instant savings and $25 mail in rebate. UV resistant with Kevlar. I'm prepping the Jeep and hopefully applying today....unless it rains. Other liners don't come with the UV protection or Kevlar. Good price so thought I'd give it a try. I'll update when it's done.

I tried the duplicolur with Kevlar (roll on stuff) yesterday and it's crap. The texture is VERY course and inconsistent in texture pattern and it's a major pain in the ass to apply. Now I'm stuck with the task of removing it all from the part I coated because I just can't stand looking at it. I picked up two spray cans of the same stuff and I'll see if the texture turns out smoother. I've read so many threads recommending this stuff but right now I'm not sold, AT ALL! Clean up however is really easy. Soap and water, that's it.

I used the regular duplicolor and did my floors and rear fender wells! I did 3 coats to make it thick as possible and it is amazing! Extremely happy and impressed with the product! (I have never tried working with the Kevlar stuff though). I even did my jeep emblem!
