Has your 2015+ running boards developed stains?

Anyone else's 2015+ running boards developed whitish splotches or stains? I've kept mine clean and conditioned but more and more of these stains are appearing.

Post some photos. Have you tried any plastic trim restoring products? Chemical guys make some fantastic products for plastic trim.

Other than soap and water, I've only teated them with 303 Protectant. Will post some pics when I return from a trip in a week.

Chemical guys makes a a trim and tire gel protectant product that works as a restore as well. You should look it up. I’ve been playing with it all week after grabbing it from CG and it’s pretty awesome.

Yes, where the two does meet. Warranty perhaps?

Got one of those on my 2016 drivers side so I see it every time I get in mine.

It looks like something dripping down from inside the door jams that has stained...

Soap and water to clean and then dry is the best...no dressings or treatments should be done as most are chemical based and could react to contaminated water splashing from a gutter dip...that water could have something in it during runoff from who knows where and when you drive though and the tires kick it up and it splashes on the boards it can stain or have a reaction if it is coated with something. I always just stick to soap and water only. Just my 02!
For sure the dealer will say you or your car wash put something on it. I always tell the car wash guys no dressing...not even the tires as that stuff just flies off on to the boards and leaves dark spots.
