time for bed -finish - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I got my wood for my bed grooved yesterday and now want to finish the wood. I stained and then polyetheran'ed my last bed and after only one year it is already peeling the varnish off. Would like to know what you guys are using. This truck is not going to be a trailer queen and I would like for the wood to be able to get wet occasionally(car wash). But after all new wood I would like it to be somewhat dressy.I like the gloss of poly but once it starts pelling it looks worse than no gloss at all.I have done the search on this board and have yet to find a good solution.
