Running Board Detail Procedure

[DINOZR]

I spray tire shine on a tire brush and wipe them down with the brush. However, I have to do this on a reoccurring basis as they will get dirty again (and they are a little slippery after application).

This is my method as well. I wash with Chemical Guys soap/brush. Then after dry I apply spray on Chemical Guys "Nice n Wet" tire shine. It makes the running board very slightly slippery for a day or so, but it's honestly not bad.

Adam’s tire & rubber cleaner works for my running boards.

Welcome to the place. I use a product called "Wipe New" on all the black trim pieces including the running boards.

I need to find this stuff and try it. My runninn boards look like hell, but they have a good excuse

I wash and scrub them with a hand held brush then let them dry, after that I apply a heavy coat of Adams VRT with their foam applicator. When that dries they look black as new and it last a good amount of time.

Mine get soap from the foam cannon, followed by a power washer rinse and look new. Why would anyone need to scrub a rough texture surface like running boards with anything in place of a power washer?

If they’re really bad you can spray them with wheel cleaner first and then rinse with a power washer.
BTW, I also spray my exhaust tips with wheel cleaner while doing the wheels.

Maybe you can try this? I haven’t done this myself.

Tire shine/cleaner works great but slippery for a day or two after application.
