Opeth Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I'm getting ready to detail my brother's car for him. He has never washed it, I know its a shame. However, he has some (what looks like) mildew and mildew stains on the exterior rubber trim. What would be protocol for removing this? APC? VRT?

0 11chevz71 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 For rubber trim i moght cut the apc down 50/50. Then apply a couple coats to the rubber because it will soak the vrt up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't leave it on too long, do a small section and then rinse well and move to the next section. And no need to tell him you used his toothbrush, he deserves it for letting his car get that dirty :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Opeth Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 haha. thanks for the help. I'll try the suggestions. It actually makes me angry that he won't wash it. It could be a nice car.

0 Opeth Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 I didn't actually get to clean it today because he didn't feel like bringing the car over for ME to wash. Apparently it was too much of a hassle to have someone wash his car for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Opeth Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 He hasnt been to the beach in a while. I think he not only doesn't click his feet when he gets in, he scoops up sand with his feet. I don't know how it doesn't bug him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 KrazyTrain Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Did he have to pay for this car with his hard earned money? If he cant even bring it to you i wouldnt clean it for him. sounds like he dont care. At least he has a nice enough brother to volunteer to clean it for him beside he would just trash it again when you are done..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Opeth Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Well its his car; I guess he can do whatever he wants with it. I just like washing and cleaning cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done cars for people like that and they don't really understand or respect the work that's involved in what you do. Just saying don't expect a huge thank you. Good luck on the detail hope all goes well. If you get some good before and after pics post them up. What kind of car is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
