    Detailing stainless steel running boards/side steps

    I have a set of stainless steel running boards on my pickup. They have the typical black plastic step pads where people *should* step to get into the truck, but outside that is stainless steel.

    I want to clean and protect the whole thing...I figure the step pads are easy, whatever exterior trim protectant (I have Wolfgang).

    My question is about the stainless - if I use something like Collinite Metal Wax, will they get too slick if someone accidentally steps on the metal?

    Any suggestions on a product to clean and protect that WON`T make the metal too slippery?

    Thanks.

    Re: Detailing stainless steel running boards/side steps

    "Metal Wax" is a bit misleading in its name.

    I use this very good Collinite product, and it excels at polishing, cleaning, sealing, and protecting many metals (like chrome).

    It doesn't really leave the metal "slick or slippery" as we would associate in our minds with the word Wax though.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    I use Flitz cleaner and polish. Stuff works great and I have never had a problem slipping on my running bar.
