Ford Super Duty running boards

What would be good to use on my 2011 ford super duty black running boards. Not chrome steps. Something that is not slippery. Its a truck, it gets used and extremely dirty. Would dlux work? Would it wear off where you step and look funny?

I would use a dressing like UTTG+. And save the dlux for other areas that won't see heavy wear.

Wolfgang exterior trim sealant works perfectly on plastic running board pads. Dries without being greasy or slippery.

+ 1 on the DLUX

Wouldn't the dlux wear off due to repeated use with getting in and out of the truck. Beings it is a coating. I would assume the abbrassive on the bottom of your shoe combined with your weight would cut through the dlux rather quickly. That is why I suggested a dressing. Am I totally off base with my theory?

You may be better off to clean it only, and not apply a dressing.

Some dressings can be slick, and even more so when wet.

I had an Explorer with running boards with similar plastic. I used PoorBoys Trim Restorer on them.

Thats my worry,being slick with snow or when wet. The truck does get washed regularly, so I do want something on them, its just when it gets dirty its really dirty.
