And what to use for windshield?

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.

Waiting for Phil to recommend something. Otherwise Mother's Mag polish, but still need to clean first.
