Removing mould / algae from soft top

Post by noz85 » Fri Apr 07, 2023 3:20 pm

Just wondering if this milton fluid method (or the autoglym kit) might also be good for removing the green/algea that can build up on the black rubber/felt window trim which is located above the gap in the door where the side windows slide down into..

Renovo. It’s what all the classic car buffs use. I used it to recolour and seal the roof of an E46 M3. You do need to treat the mould first. Renovo is brilliant stuff though. Then get a sheet to cover the car if it’s outside in the winter.
