How To Take Out And Clean A Truck’S Outside Molding?

To remove mold from your car’s exterior, mix 1 part hydrogen peroxide with 2 parts water in a spray bottle and spray it onto mold-infested areas. Allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes to kill the mold, then scrub the surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge. Wipe the area to remove any residue. Clean off old dressings at least every two months using BLACKFIRE APC All-Purpose Cleaner. Spray a microfiber towel and wipe down the trim pieces to avoid overspray.

To remove car exterior mold, use a soft brush for plastic and rubber, followed by a high-pressure hose and a microfiber cloth to clean away mold residue on the rest of the vehicle’s exterior. To prevent mold, use a solution of water and vinegar, or a specialized cleaning product. Regularly washing and drying your car can also help.

The first step for preventative care is removing old residue from the vehicle’s exterior. Cerakote recommends cleaning plastic trim with Dawn dish soap, as it is a degreaser that removes oils and other contaminants that may prevent the coating from adhering well. Properly cleaned and dressed trim creates more contrast with the paint.

Wash the trim and moldings each time you wash your vehicle, using a dedicated trim brush or stiffer bristles for textured pieces. For severely neglected and faded exterior black plastic trim, agitate the surface with a medium bristle brush and a quality cleaning spray. Clean the trim with the rest of your vehicle using proper shampoo and your wash mitt of choice.
