I have green stuff growing on my window rubbers, thanks to the fact that my car sits in a damp, shaded spot. ASDA mould and milldew remover does a champion job of removing milldew from the bathroom tile grouting (and curry stains from white shirts!) but I wouldn't risk using it on the car as it might bleach the paint!! Is there a product on the market specifically for dealing with this problem or do folks know of another solution?

Hot soapy water, a cloth and alot of scrubbing always works on the Rangie and that sits around doing very little most of the week.

Any specific type of soap?

Once you've got it, it seems to return quite quickly though

Yeah, I've noticed that having had a less severe case of it before and cleaned it off. Perhaps new window rubbers all round is the answer... which also means a new back window rolleyes I'm planning to move in the next year and when I do the car will get an extensive cosmetic overhaul. No point doing it now as it'll give the local nob-heads a blank canvass to make their mark on, but once I'm relocated eight years of collective chav-damage will be wiped-out in one wallet-thrashing refurb-fest!
