techieboy Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Agent Orange? Sorry couldn't resist. Scrub it with a toothbrush and treat with silicone spray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelwind101 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Tooth bursh and soapie water for that!! Do you use something like AG bumper care (try not to get it on the windows!!) to protect the area and reduce the chance of it being able to grow back. IF it wont budge try a little apc inplace of soap. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelwind101 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 ALL PURPOSE CLEANER!! Poorboys stuff is pretty good and comes in not to bigger amounts. You can get a sample from elite car care. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techieboy Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 [ QUOTE ] don't get the agent orange bit??? [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Agent Orange was the nickname given to a powerful and cancerous herbicide and defoliant used by the U.S. military in its Herbicidal Warfare program during the Vietnam War. Agent Orange was used from 1961 to 1971, and was by far the most used of the so-called "rainbow herbicides" used during the program. [/ QUOTE ] Feckin nasty stuff. Guaranteed to kill just about anything it got sprayed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domus Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Agent Orange is/was a very nasty substance used by the Americans in Viet Nam. It defoiliated the jungle to enable the Yanks to find the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fresco1 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 That's a mixture of moss and fungus, it can frequently be seen around sunroof trims on older cars. You could try something like a Dettol or Flash floor wipe to moisten the area and then scrub it gently, taking care not to get the stuff on your paintwork!

zerologic Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 cheers for the replies guys... i have had a look on ebay but can't find any agent orange... Im going to carefully try some household stuff with a toothbrush and maybe get a sample of APC and try that too. Then add some product to protect!

Tarmac_Terrorist Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Often seen on caravans after winter storage. a little bit of neat caravan cleaner and it should just rinse / rub off. Quite strong stuff so I would recommend applying with a cloth so as to avoid getting on paintwork (may remove any layers of wax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
