I then treated the sills the dealer tried to repair and quickly improved those too. The sills could use a second treatment to get those bits I only know are there but I need to probably put blue painters tape around the plastic surrounding the sill to protect it from the chemical before doing more.

I really appreciate all the help this community provides. I haven’t done my own detailing in probably 30 years so very thankful for the advice here.

When rubbed off the marks did leave a rust colored stain on the Eagle One cloth. If not rust, hmmm....the remnants of some nasty liquid that evaporated?

One last thing on the Eagle One for anyone that has never used it. The directions are simple, a few sentences, but on a quarter inch piece of a rear sill I rubbed the cloth against the grain of the stainless steel, don’t do this. I can see the cross grain rubbing when the light is reflected a certain way. The directions are silient on this, to some it may be common sense, but you should rub with the grain.
Glad it worked! It could be anything, my guess is at some time you drove through something and when the water that splashed up on that sill dried it left that deposit.
