My BAKFlip has turned BLUE!

Last year, I purchased a BAKFlip Tonneau Cover for my Nissan Titan Its colour was black when I got it, but it has now turned blue! The underside is still black. I have not used any out of the ordinary materials to clean the cover.

Has anybody had the same experience?

I regularly use a local automatic car wash, possibly they use some chemicals that have discoloured the cover. But as you see, the colour is quite even, not splotchy. I also have the truck waxed now and then, and it was when I fetched it from the waxing garage one day that I noticed the blue colour first. But the garage guys claim they never use anything other than soap and water on the cover itself.

I have tried rubbing with thinner and alcohol, but to no avail.

I think you need to move to a planet that does not have a sun.
