Shining up my running boards with out being slippery

What can I use to shine up my running boards that are plastic. I don't want them to be slippery but after I wash it they just don't have the "new"shine anymore. Everything that I have tried has been slippery.

i use a product called dull away made by ardex. its really good stuff. i water it down about 60% ardex and 40% water. you can maybe try this w/the stuff you use. it gives a more natural look, not that fake super shiny crap. if the boards are black mothers makes a polish for them that i believe goes on like wax and doesn't make it as slippery.

Seems that 303 is a universal thing, eh. I will have to see if I can get it locally!

Ok, I have the 303. Still looking for the Dull Away. Now I need it to stop snowing so I can clean my truck.........

I just used the 303 Protectant and it did an awesome job on the running boards. I had my wife and kids get in the truck and they did not slip at all. It looked great on the tonneau cover too. Need to get a gallon of that stuff!!!
