Saving the paint under an FG ute tub liner

FG Falcon XR8 ute

A tidy tailgate can hide a lot of grit underneath a removable liner. For a working XR8 ute, what have owners found when lifting theirs after a few years? Photos of contact marks near the wheel tubs would help someone weighing a removable mat against a full liner.

I’d like to see the underside of the liner as well. A polished patch on the plastic can explain a matching mark on the paint.
