Mould removal from rubber trim??

[keystarG60 0]

The rubber seal surrounding the rear quarter glass is stained with green marks.

 

Looks horrible in some places. Looks like its mould or the remains of some car loving moss.

 

Is there a cure for this disease? I've tried shifting it with elbow grease but it looks like its penetrated the rubber.

 

Help

What have you tried to remove it with?

 

I've persevered with AG SRP and AG vinyl/rubber care after a good scrub with car shampoo and over time it is coming up shiny and the vinyl/rubber care re-nourishes the seals, stopping them from shrinking with age and letting in water.

Oh right. What does AG stand for? Sounds like its worth a try. Thanks

 

Ive tried regular car shampoo, and a so called rubber cleaning product (cant remember the name of it)

AG is Auto Glym, or Meguires is good also and both available from Halfords.

 

I actually went over the rubber with the super resin polish and then vinyl/rubber care and the cloth turned black/green taking off the years of cr#p on the rubber, but with several applications its getting there!

 

Perseverance is the key i guess!

Peanut butter and a toothbrush.... I kid you not!

vwdeviant - Is that something to do with the oil in the peanuts then?

Yup apparently...... only did it once when I'd run out of blacking stuff but does work... Not sure if you need chunky to help scrub off the green though..
