I've been pretty fortunate in that my rocker panels really haven't gotten covered up with road tar and/or any debris. So cleaning these really hasn't been a big deal for me. I do these usually every spring/early summer timeframe.

They had a lot of tar on them, they looked new when they went back on, they probably look just as bad again.
Yeah - I just don't bend as much as I used to! So I have to lay down on my side & apply the polish, then wipe it off once it glazes over. I use a microfiber towel to remove the initial glazing and then use chees-cloth to buff to a final sheen.
Keep in mind, the 2007 only has 18k on the ODO. So it really hasn't been exposed to a lot of road tar/debris. And like the headlights, I've kept the rocker panels polished from Day 1 so cleaning them is pretty easy. Headlights have never glazed over, either.
