2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 Autobiography Fuji White

I have exactly the same problem. Bought the steps from Hawk. I fitted them and the next day they looked terrible. I have tried all sorts to no avail (including Solvol Autosol). NOTHING seems to work. I’ve given up. It is awful though as the rest of my car is immaculate for it’s age

if your not sure on the wire wool for any reason I have heard that
Bacofoil is very good to shine and clean aluminium metal..

Other brands are available..

Wonder what the difference is in manufacture? Mine on a 13 plate only need a wash and they are fine.

How long have you had the car? If it’s a recent purchase, chances are they were new as dealers easily swap them for new for about £100 to improve the look. 2012 5.0 SC AB

if they are not cleanable or easily improved maybe these would be options?
