OEM Running boards, still dull after washing.....

[noupf]

Just curious.......maybe I am missing something here, but even after cleaning, these oem running boards are still quite dull. If I remember correctly, even when the truck was new, they never really "popped".

Is there something out there to make these running boards shine better?

What style do you have? The chrome?

sorry, yes "chrome".......a very dull chrome.

I had oem chrome running boards on my silverado and they shined like they were supposed to. these are just dull and boring. Very unimpressive.

I doubt very much you can do much with that finish. It won't polish up like bare metal will. All you can do is keep it clean.

With my 1999 I had the same problem. I got the chrome off the aluminum (oven cleaner did the trick) and powder coated them.
