It was already brushed like that when we purchased the truck. My dad just used some Meguiar's spray on it I believe to clean it.. I'll have to ask him. I saw your tip with the stainless cleaner. I've also just used some WD40 on a rag before.

I do want to know what everyone does before attaching the aftermarket trip sticky mounts? Just prep cleaner in the spot? Does the trim not stick off the body too far? Can't see how it will be pulled in tight with these things...

Mines all 3M tape and screws. None of the original holes were there from 80s bodywork.

Poop. Can't remember. I want to say it was a 3M product, not the LMC stuff. I would always lean 3M, all things considered. Maybe someone else can pipe up.
