M40
I didn't read the instructions for Ultima Tire & Trim Gel and put about four heavy coats on my father-in-law's running boards. They were slick for a while. Dangerously slick. My fault. If I'd used the product sparingly, his running boards would've been okay.
I have been using Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant per the recomendations of this forum. I have had no slippery steps at all. I use it on the steps on the bumpers and on the black plastic around the bed rail as well.
I use M40 VERY sparingly and wipe/buff it off as much as possible too.
I’ve been breaking my own rules lately when it comes to dressing the running boards on a GMC Denali that I maintain... I’ve used a few products and as far as initial results I found Meguiars Ultimate Black [lotion] made it look just about perfect just after application. Fast forward 10 days... I knew this would be the case.

Btw what the heck was GM thinking putting a strip of plastic chrome on the running boards? This truck has less than 6k miles on it and that chrome strip is already permanently crazed. They also put plastic chrome on the kick panels. That’s stupid!

“Dressing” exterior trim always results in a catch 22.
Looks good at 1st, but attracts tons of dirt + leaves a slick finish which I shouldn’t have been doing in the 1st place.

I ran out of the Megs Ultimate Black and was about to use Hyper Dressing on them... But when I looked at the clean floormatts I had just vacuumed I decided to rethink my plan for dressing the running boards. Nomore.
Instead I’m going to give my customer a freebie today and over deliver. I’m going to do the right thing and just coat the black plastic trim on those running boards. I’ll try to take some pics.[emoji328]
