Running Boards Detail Solution

[Bama93]

I think I may have posted before, yet not able to find the post.

I am looking for the best solution / detail for the stock running boards on the GMC AT4 1500. I am not able to find the exact material on GMC website. Just looking for something to bring them back to life. Seem to have a little oxidation along with some water spots.

I stared using this. Works great! The thrill is a full blow oil field work truck. She lives in the deserts of WTX most of her life. 25,000 miles

Just spray on, no wiping?

 

[VolcaincRedAT4]

Yes,
Give the boards a good cleaning. Let them completely dry. Then just spray it on. Just a thin coat, or it will run. It drys fairly fast in the sun. I wash my truck at least 2x a week when I’m not working and one can will last a few months. I use a 3’ piece of cardboard to slide between the boards and the door seals to keep it off the paint.

Wanted to follow up on the 303. Just got around to giving her a bath. 303 makes it look just like dealership floor room. Need to find an applicator to smooth some of the flat spots but overall will be using this from here on out. Great recommendation.
