    What to use on running boards?

    What can I use on the black plastic on my running boards that will look good but not be slippery?

    Thanks!

    One of my clients is a personal injury lawyer .He sued them big time cause a lady slipped on the running board and she broke her leg at a Newely built car wash.He looked at the product used,and says don't apply on running boards.Easy score for him.Read the instructions before applying anything on running boards.a lot of the chemical manufacturers state use at your risk and claim no responsibility.

    "Zero slick" might be a stretch. Just a simple wash of running boards can make them a little more slippery than pre-wash. But I wouldn't say they add significant slickness like some of the products that are more greasy in nature.

    For me, if it isn't zero slick I won't put it on running boards, rubber matts, or pedals. Things can get downright dangerous in a hurry, especially when you consider it could be a lady passenger getting in later that evening wearing high heels. Ouch.

    Steering wheel and automatic gearshift I've never considered a big deal. But any parts the feet touch I just can't chance it for others.
