Re: What to use to clean years of mold off the paint

I have clay but the paint on this old truck would likely rip a clay bar to pieces. I can't think of anything that won't require a ton of elbow grease. Comet may be the answer. I'll try laundry detergent and maybe some Simple Green and go from there. Was just curious to see if anyone knew of a simple solution to get the mold and crud off the paint.

The paint code says it's white. I had a frost white 77 once and maybe somewhere under the crud it's here too, but right now it's not even close.

Thanks a bunch!

Try some oven cleaner (sodium hydroxide) also known as lye. I've used this product a lot works very well. Be carful it burn like a ***** if you get it on your bare skin.

never tried this but I wonder if clorox and hot water would work on it...
buddy of mine uses it on his vinyl siding and it looks new when he gets done...
