mouldy bodywork
k as i said in one of the other forums my g wasent well looked after by its last owner it sat outside next to a muck heap for 2 years and didnt turn a wheel as a result this sorta green slimey stuff grew all over the bodywork it was about 5 mill thick and took me 4 days to clean off but its been a few weeks since i cleaned it off and its growing back evan tho my g is now in a dry shed can anyone help with this? what should i do?
steam cleaner nice and hot and a good trafic film remover, and depending on how oxidized the paint is a plasic type sponge or if really bad an old green scrubbing pad and then a good t-cut after....
Yeah, I get this green slime on my G, which happens to be white too, though my truck lives outdoors all the time with trees around. Washing and shampoo appear to take it off, but it eventually comes back once the cold damp weather returns. I guess there must be micro-spoors lurking in the paint's surface layer or something. I suspect the above suggestion of a good steam clean followed up with a quality wax polish is sound, though I haven't tried it myself, yet. I did a small test area with well diluted bleach (couple of splashes of Domestos in a bucket) followed by a rinse with a hose and it seems to be holding it at bay, but can't be positive until more time has elapsed.
Is it just the white paint or are other members experiencing this on different colours. My previous G was Moss Green anyway, so I wouldn't have noticed particularly.... :lol:
well i dont know as my g is white and blue but its only the white that the mould is on so it might be something in the paint
I only managed to completely get rid of the stuff when I moved back to Spain :lol: Highly recommended!
lol well in a few years im planning to move to austraila and im takeing my g with me so that should do the job lol
this sounds daft, but Cilit Bang Will do the trick

Cilit Bang? Hmmm, that always sounds as if it ought to be some kind of medicinal compound for those of a female persuasion..... :(
what sounds daft??
