    minor, TRD skid plate, front recovery points, Regken mud flaps, rear diff breather, AC drain pipe extended. Upgraded sound with active sub woofer, tonneau cover, CB radio.
    To me looks like calcium deposits from water on the black parts.

    Extra protection never hurts, good idea to apply something other (like above recommended spray), be safe than sorry, drink beer, sleep easy!

    :pccoffee: OK I’ll put on my Mr. science hat here. :tinfoilhat:

    Aluminum does not “rust”, it corrodes. Rust refers only to iron turning into iron oxide. If you have hard water, it could be calcium deposits on the powder coat as suggested earlier- I have this on my Prinsu as well. Use a bit of vinegar on a paper towel to clean it and rinse well with water.

    I am a science and technology teacher and I didn’t sleep at a Motel-8 last night.
