I just received two pair of incredible high quality Running Board Rubber mats for my 1933 Phaeton from I&I. I am not going to use them for probably 2 years and want to know the best way to store them to keep them fresh. Right now they are laying flat on top of each other in a box. Should I put paper between them? Coat them with something? Leave along? Any ideas??

I agree about the Vaseline. I use WD-40 on my running board rubber and it seems to work well, but I am not sure others would recommend it.

Keep them in the box in the Trunk of your car if it's inside.

I bought a set of rubber GM running board covers NOS in 1982….I frequently lube them with Neatsfoot oil…just like I used to do with my baseball glove!…I also use the same on my 64 SS dash cover…never an issue with either…Billu38

Hi. I have always used Black "Kiwi" Boot polish or "Nugget"brand Boot polish on rubber running board mats and also on tires it not only protects the rubber it also gives them a good shine.
I don't know if you can purchase either of these brands in USA. Surprisingly I spied Kiwi boot polish for sale in Bangkok Thailand just last week.
