Running Boards

[Nacho]

Good to know they can replace them. I'll head over and drop it off for service next week probably and do the same. Thanks for the update

They didn't look this good when I first received the Truck.

They look great !

Just FYI I did throw out the RainX car wash and I'm now using Simple Green. Washed my truck yesterday with the stuff and it works great.

I really want to warn you guys on car wash solutions that have wax in it, I've noticed that the trim on top of the bed is also damaged from wax whiting.

I am taking about the off the shelf stuff.

And I agree with ya, I can't find a Cash Wash Shop that will let me in anyway.

I run my truck through the brushless gas station carwash....I can always repaint or replace parts when I have to...its just a freakin truck!

Besides, I trade in every couple years anyway...LOL

I've been wanting to post for a month or two about my runnimg boards. Since day one they were never really were clean looking but over the year they now look like this.
I have not waxed the truck yet, but I wash it every two weeks. Did put armorol on them once and the last time I will not do that again
This is right after I washed and scrub those things, I wonder if this is from acid rain and would this be covered under warranty?
I have not be off road yet, hunting trip got canceled.

Sorry if some one posted this already , but this looks like spray wax from a pressure washer / car wash .

This product works miracles S100. It will make your running boards look like new and keep them that way for some time . Stand FORWARNED it will make them slippery for awhile , espcialy the first time they get wet after useing it . In your case you are goiong to need 2 big cans or at least 3 small ones. Stuff is not cheap but it works awsome . I use this on my Harley and it makes the black wrinkle wall look like new. You can pick it up at your HD dealer if you can't find it at your autoparts store. Let us know what you decide to do . You will not be sorry of you try this product. OUther then it being slippery for awhile. Try and make sure the surface is somewhat clean / No mud etc and that it is not hot. Do to the rough surface you will not realy be wipeing this off and in your case I beleaive it is going to take a bit do to what appears to be wax build up .

Mine look the same way.I know for a fact its from waxing the truck.After a few days of rain,the wax somehow drips onto them.I have powerwashed them and scrubbed them and it wont go away.The only thing that seems to take the edge off it is wd40 and a scrub brush,but it still comes back,just not as bad.

Well shit sorry guys : I jumped to posting as I did not have time to read the thread . Anyhow S100 will work here as well .

I had a buddy got wax on the inside primary of his Springer , he had tried everything to get it off . I walked in my garage came back with a can of s100 gave it a small shot and gone looked like new. Should have seen his face , went from amazement , to WTF , to frustration to pissed because of how hard he had tried to get the shit off his bike. I am done ranting , now go buy some and fix your stuff. Like I said before it will be SLIPPERY for awhile , espcaily the first time it get's wet . Warn your passangers , especialy the boss at home.

i have that same problem. can you paint them?

If thats the case it would probably be a real bitch as the stock material doesn't seem like anything that is coming off too easy

Have them sandblasted! That'll take it off!

Droped mine off today to have the door bottoms painted,and the rocker panells.Both had only flat primer from the factory.They said no to my white spoted running boards,I'm not done fighting them yet!
