Hi We like the idea of a side step (Scooby came with one already fitted) - glad you now have one too. However, on the practical front we presume the jacking points are now blocked for wheel removal? But whats practical got to do with it any way - it looks cool. Scooby

Ah, wheel removal - yes I did think about that and decided that the answer lay in buying a bottle jack of appropriate size thus removing need to use the standard jack supplied. Clever, eh.

Anyone have any tips for making / keeping these things shiny?

Autoglym, T-cut and Autosol all sell a metal polish suitable for aluminium.
See http://www.autosol.com/ for info.

I was wondering if spraying a coat of silicone after cleaning/polishing might be useful as a protector?

Autosol reckon they also make an aluminium protective spray, but can't find it for sale in the UK.
Don't know if this stuff's any good? http://www.acf-50.co.uk/
