That'll be the dirty/sandy surface on the paint being scuffed by your pants. You'll just have to be diligent on not allowing your leg to hit the trim...easier said than done. Running board vehicles can be a pain too, since the running board can hold a lot of material, especially in your climate, which makes for some dirty pant legs when exiting a vehicle. After having a loaner X5 X-line with these, I actually hated them...found that they stuck out too far and I would hit my leg on them constantly. I'm 6'2", and the running board did nothing to help me into the vehicle.
