I ordered aluminum running board step plates from Classic Parts (formerly Chevy Duty) and discovered, after one simple rainfall, that I wasted my money in more ways than one!
A film of white oxidation formed all over the entire step plate that will not come off no matter what I try! But, even worse than that, when I removed the step plates (getting my truck ready for paint) I discovered what must have been the equivalent of a quarter-cup of white powder -- oxidation -- underneath the plates, eating away at the paint!!!
