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 .

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.
