As for the running boards typically I clean them up, I don't do much as to dress it cause you have to step on it and you don't want anyone slipping on them.

As for metal you can try to polish them out with a metal polish.

Do you have a picture of them? I haven't run into much rust on running boards but let me try to figure out what would work.

Thanks. Let me get some pictures.

Here are the pics. They are towards the back of running boards. Happened over winter.

What polish do you have on hand?

Try a small section and polish it out, there was a service bulletin on it.

Hi Phil,
Actually, i don't have any on hand - completely out - a big order is coming your way shortly.
What service bulletin? Any info?

Thanks,
Vijay

the service bulletin says to use meg 9 or 7 on it and hand polish it out.

you can try Menzerna 106fa or Menzerna 85rd on it.

Hi phil,

I tried to manuever my X out of my garage and around my brothers car and ended up eating a little bit of the side of the garage. There is now a small scuff and some house paint. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Tweak,

If you have a polish on hand you can probably polish the scuff out, if you have a dent you can get a dent guy to remove it.

The black trim on the top half of the clamshell glove compartment is coming unglued and lifting up making it hard to open the box with only two hands. What glue do you recommend. 2008 X5

Phil,
how long would you need to keep my X to clean the engine?
