To protect your investment, wax this product after installing. Regular waxing is recommended to add a
protective layer over the finish. Do not use any type of polish or wax that may contain abrasives that could
damage the finish.
Aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs on the finish. Mild soap may be used also to
clean the Running Board.
