Removing mildew from rubber roof strip - Krusty Driver - 03-26-2013
I've got mildew or similar on the two rubber roof strips on the roof, any ideas as how to remove it? Simple scrubbing doesn't get it done. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

not sure how to remove, try Goop b' gone. Got in from crappy tire. I would just clean it and Plastidip it black.

try soap and water and an abrasive brush. just be careful not to scratch the paint

I've tried that with one of those Scotchbrite pads. Didn't really help that much.

Are you positive that is mildew? It looks like the plastic is breaking down and the spots you see are different compounds in the plastic breaking through the painted finish.

^^ that also works very well. I did the same in the summer time when I prepped my car for paint and they come off in a couple seconds lol they're just glued on.

I guess I'll try a couple of your suggestions, what have I got to lose.
