Problem I have is the aluminium part seems to be covered in cr*p (looks like a combination of tar spots and general imbedded dirt) that I can't seem to shift with normal washing and I'm looking to source a product that would bring them back to new. The car is washed weekly, but these side steps seem like dirt magnets!
I looked at the Autosol product, but wanted a bit of advice before buying/using.
Cheers.Never buy a stupid dwarf, it's not big and it's not clever!

Scotch-Brite and some cheap car shampoo, bring them up like new.
