    I have tried this on two different vehicles one a car that had sat out at my mechanics shop for a while while he was waiting for a part and it worked perfectly and the other was an old white van that had accumulated so much tree sap it was actually getting green and moldy and it worked perfectly both times.
    Thank you for the suggestion it saved a lot of time and effort.

    I just found this because I'm finally actually getting my project car running. This saved me I don't know how much time trying to scrub it off. Still useful info 4 years later. Thanks.

    I had bought a 2003 Ford 350 it had been sitting under some trees for 4 years it looked green like yours.. I cleaned it down with cleaning vinegar and water from a spray bottle. Just used old t shirts to wipe it down.. looks clean and shiny... it's a white cargo van the people I bought it from couldn't believe how good it looked... anyway thanks for sharing...

    Just a fast suggestion , weed pump sprayers hold 2 thru 5 gallons and would make it way easy for you to spray this I use them for my driveway 5 gallon pump sprayers at Wal-Mart are 5 or 7 bucks way easier than the hand sprayers . Great videos you do I totally enjoy your channel keep up the awesome work have a nice day

    I picked up a 1963 Chrysler Imperial south Hampton similar condition, out of the pine grove, I put out a sprinkler and let the car get good and wet which softened up the dirt, used little squares of carpet and a few bottles of soft scrub, lot of elbow grease but it came out great , white car and a little Clorox goes a long way, used a garden spray and it came back, spray wax ... I took it to a car show 3-4 days later. I still have the trophy from 1987, Foss motors in southern NH 2nd place in its class

    My truck was in worse shape than that van. I tried everything I saw on you tube, then every chemical in my shop, including some stuff that was not paint friendly, nothing worked. Sprayed it with this stuff hit it with the pressure washer, 90% clean. A little elbow grease on the tough spots and done. I can't thank you enough. Watch where you purchase this , paid 1 dollar at dollar tree, it's 8 dollars at the parts store, I've seen it for 16 dollars on the internet. Took 1 and a half bottles to do my truck.

    Will be a nice van when all clean and tidy, i would have pressure washed it and maybe even go thru a car wash ( if it fits thru? ) to make ALL that mold was removed.
    Nothing wrong with a good tape deck in a car they can still deliver very good sound quality, it all depends on the quality of the recording on the tape.

    Wow thats great. I just went and cleaned my subaro but it couldnt get it clean like your spray and its in between plastic to the tin. I was scrubbing like crazy and im disabled it wore me out. Im in australua and hoping i can buy that product here. I wish you guys could do my car lol. If i can get that stuff it would be so great. I cant wax my car i need to be able to just hose it. Does it stop the mould from coming back ? What can i do to stop it coming back. Is there anything i can spray it with? I really enjoyed watching this. I cant believe its happening to my car as my carers drive it . I never had this happen to any of my cars ever.. Thanks for showing me how to get rid of it as its between the plastic trim And the tin. If i can buy that stuff then i can spray it and go in car wash where it can do underneath as well. You are so kind to do it for the lady. Its lovely to see people who are willing to help others. My dad was in ww2. Well im hoping i can buy it.

    Just in time. We were scratching our heads wondering what in the world we could clean the mold off our van that has been sitting under a tree. After seeing this we went straight to Family Dollar and bought 4 64 ounce bottles of Totally Awesome. We put it in a pump up sprayer, took it to a high pressure car wash sprayed it with the cleaner and used the pressure washer at the car washer. It took it all off. We were amazed!

    Voice of Wisdom.
    I've used this mix since the 70's.
    (Minimal effort)
    1) 5 gals bucket.
    Add;
    2) 1 gal. of Bleach. into bucket.
    3) Half gallon of gasoline into the Mix.
    4) 20 ounces of DAWN liquid.
    5) Add water to the mix Up to the rim and mix it well.
    6) Rinse the vehicle with water and Start washing the vehicle with a MOP and the Mix..
    7) Leave the mix On the body for 10 minutes and RINSE.
    8) the bleach will kill All that Mold and else, as it is ORGANIC.
    It works great..!!

    I got my first car a few years ago (1996 ford explorer) and it was pretty neglected by the previous owners so the plastic bumper has these ugly faint green stains that won't go away no matter how hard I scrub, If I find this I'll give it a go and see how it helps.
