The MrC worked WONDERFULLY on them... however, several folks have reported having problems with the MrC on new truck (04+) plastic parts.
Long story short, I don't want you to be the guinea pig on the running boards without absolute certanity that it'll work with success. I suppose you could try them on the underside to see though...
What you're looking for, from a damage perspective, is a whitening of the plastic itself. This is caused by the abrasive cleaning action of the MrC ME.
If it were mine (and I have an 05 KR), I'd be reluctant. Thusfar, I haven't had to 'deep clean' my boards though...

I have the Westin Stepboards (black polymer) on my truck. What works for me is a good scrubbing using a medium bristle brush and Meg's Gold Class wash/shampoo. Same stuff I use on the body. I dress 'em up with Mother's Back to Black, then I issue the family a stiff warning:
ANYBODY WHO PUTS A FOOT ON THOSE BOARDS, DIES IN MID STEP

Not to discount what Pete has said but, you probably don't want to use Back To Black on your Arizona Beige running boards... it's meant for black stuff...
But, like Pete... my family has marching orders to a similar tune on the boards. My wife has FINALLY learned to use the handles to pull her way in... Aren't running boards just for decoration anyway? Decoration or for an eldery person to get up and in the vehicle? LOL!
