Door Sills

[Rian_Colorado]

Hey Paul! I suspect you would recognize a LOT of things if you saw my build......lol.

I am curious about how yours have held up. I also did my own pontoon panels (very similar to how you did yours) and notice that they do mark up easily as you mention. Did you end up covering your door sills or pontoon panels with clear bra material? If so, did that help much? Interesting point about maybe using stainless steel.

FFR does include door sills, though the set that I received are smaller that I'd like, and the laser etching is...... not great. I may reach out and ask though. I think many people would buy them if they were done well.

I tried putting XPEL on the sills. I have used that material a number of times but always on a painted surface and always turned out perfect. I have no idea why, but on the polished aluminum it wouldn't go down without bubbles, still had bubbles when dry, etc. A complete fail. So removed it. I keep them waxed and try my best to keep from dragging my feet on them. For the passenger side, my policy is I always help my passenger in and out. Including my better half. I always throw a towel over the sill and onto the pipes so no one gets burned. So that side stays pretty decent. If they do get marked, it usually polishes out. I tried stainless on the sills of my truck build and can confirm it's a lot more durable. Didn't keep it long, but they didn't have a mark on them after a season of driving. I got the polished stainless from McMaster. Not cheap. I left them plain. No idea about engraving or later etching.
