cleaning running boards?
 

Anyone got any good tips on how to best clean the aluminium running boards?
How can i best polish them up. I have stains.. marks that i am stuggling to get off. Tired the normal products.. anyone got any tips?

I have the same problem

Any ideas?

depends on what kind of stains... hard water? rubber? tar? or do you just want to polish it?

I'm not sure what kind of stains you have, but the best product for me has been simple green. I spray it on and let it sit for a minute or so...I then take a soapy sponge and presto...no stains. If you have grease, you should wipe with a dry towel before you apply the simple green.....Phil

Have you tried Auto-Sol

Yes I was thinking of that but thought it might be a bit to harsh

I reckon Auto-Sol or peek would be just fine. H'mmm there is this other stuff I'm away to look for web site.

I'm having the same problem with mine...a brownish stain around the rubber treads.

Click on the more info button and it goes through what poilish for what surface type thing. Give the stuff a go :thumbup: removes any stains even the burnt suit on my exhaust

I use Mother's aluminum polish...works great, including those brownish stains around the black buttons.

Those brown stains are the worst!! ... like rust.. but aluminium doesnt rust.. does it! :(

Also rubber marks which i assume are off peoples shoes!!

I washed my car.. it was all looking good.. but these minor details was letting down all my hard work!!

The aluminum polish seems like a good idea. i'm going to try that. probably could keep some aluminum polish "wipes" in the X for quick cleanings as well.

Fiona, these guys are in Europe. Do they have resellers in US?

get in touch with them I reckon they would ship. I have found them to be very helpful and would give me a call and let me know when the items were being sent out. :thumbup:
