running boards

[bonedr]

hi all i am preparing to do a full detail on my yukon denali 2009 with retractable step ups or running boards . these are tough to detail haven't found the right product to protect and make them look good obviously cant be slippery either so most vinyl dressings are out any suggestions would be appreciated

Yeah I ran into the same thing doing my 08 Escalade. What I found that works pretty good is aerospace 303 to coat it after it has been cleaned. It does not make it glossy, but rather a matte finish. So far it has lasted me 1.5 months. I am sure others will chime in soon though with other suggestions.

I've had success with Ultima trim and tire guard on my Avalanche. Not greasy or shiny.

Mine isn't a daily driver but the Ultima has lasted longer than anything that I have tried.

I haven't tried 303...

I would warn the customer that the running boards will become very slick if they get wet with a dressing applied. You sure don't want to put that stuff on a pregnant woman's truck

DLux. Works on metal. Works on plastic. Lasts forever. Not greasy, as it's a coating.

That's what I use.
