Green Algae

Dorchester · 9th April 2017, 17:43

I have some green algae on the rubber and in the awkward gaps between chrome strips and bodywork. Any tips to remove, I don't want to damage the finish of the paint. Any tips much appreciated.

Get a cheap electric toothbrush - makes the job much easier and it will get into places a sponge won't

If you do use a power washer be careful it can take the paint of your waist/sill trims if they are colour coded

Thanks for all the suggestions, I will have to get going with a tooth brush prior to Pride of Longbridge!
