    Any suggestions on how to keep my running boards dark and not fade? I don't have the boards, I have what I call the steps but I'm not sure how to clean them so they will remain dark

    Welcome to TW. If they are all metal, just have them powder coated or coated in bed liner once they start to fade. Good luck!

    Metal?
    Plastic?

    If plastic, treat with 303 protectant regularly.

    Can't help with metal.
