Has anyone tried the herculiner that they advertise on TV that you do yourself? I have an 04 titan with a factory spray in liner and it is crap..... It was replaced twice before they told me they were not going to fix it. This was a few years ago and now I have bubbles in the third bed liner... Needless to say it is my last Nissan.....
When I shopped several years ago I ruled out Rhino because it was a real thick (about 1/2 inch) soft to the touch material and I heard a lot about it getting damaged (cut, chipped, gouged) in normal use.
This is when Line-X got notoriety, because it was a much 'harder' than the competition and stood up to abuse better.
Here it is several years later and I'm shopping again. there's only 1 line-x dealer and 1 rhino in jax, I called the line-x guy for a price and I'm familiar with line-x product.
Then I saw online that the rhino looked different now so I needed to check it out.
Went to the dealer and loved what I saw...
So just today I got Rhino TuffGrip installed and it looks and feels great. The TuffGrip is a non-slip surface. They also have HardLine which is more like the Line-X.
I have had multiple trucks sprayed with rhino and line-x. I prefer line-x and my current truck makes #5 I have had done by the same line-x dealer. Actually had my truck line-x'ed this morning (yes, the guy did for me on Sunday).
So, in their effort to spam linex, I count 20 positives for qwikliner, 5 for Rhino and 1 for Vortex.
It doesn't count if all the "positives" are made by the same person using different screen names!
Look - your product may be as good as the established brand names but you're not going to sell it by trying to trick the folks here. Spam such as yours has been tried before and it's pretty easy to recognize. You are going to turn folks off to your product.
The Qwik Liner guy is a clown ! HE logs on to every forum he can barely speaking English pushing that crap. He was even busted on a guitar forum for god's sake! If anyone is interested in Line-X Xtra you can fire away at me. Brian - Line-X of Sarasota www.fllinex.com
A few pictures of work completed by me!
Just had my brand new Duramx sprayed with Line-x... One day later we threw in tool boxes, hydraulic floor jacks, tow chains, etc. and drove 780 miles to drag a trailer out of the woods and fetch a boat... Loaded the boat on the trailer and drove back... After rolling the heavy floor jacks, dragging chains in and out, etc. we emptied the box, hosed it down, and voila, like new!
Just a happy customer...
denny-o
and this is the only screen name I have...
Line-X all the way. I had my Tundra and my 18' G3 sprayed and I love it. We painted the Line-X to match the hull. I had a few cuts in my tailgate but they fixed it for free. I don't remember how much it was to do the boat, but my truck was $450 I think.

check your eyes ,
I have been using qwikliner for the last 6yrs,found no problem at all.
It a good thing you had no problem, cause quikliner does not stand behind their products. You would have been SOL if you had an issue. Quikliner caused a bunch of pickup beds to start rusting, and the company would not do anything for the customers.
Putting new deck in 21' Seabird and was thinking of putting something like Line-X on deck. Also for insides under gunwales where the glass is not finishes very good (1971 hull) Thought it would dress it up and protect it pretty cheap. Wont look like a new boat but could be good just the same. Any suggestions for a do it yourself application?
