Will this remove dark mildew spots from the white vinyl roof of a car? Will it hurt the paint?

I'm no expert; however, I think you would have to bleach them and then apply sporicidin. I cleaned/bleached the inside of my toilet tank which was very molded when I bought this condo in 2004. After it was dry, I applied the sporicidin and let it dry overnight. I keep checking but have not seen mold yet

I even used it on the black vinyl trim on my car, it does not turn white and keeps black shiny and the water beads up. Also used it on a section of inside vinyl dashboard where there was a stain I removed and this brought back the luster

Yes but be careful and don't use it on fresh paint, it ripped the clear coat off my bumper that had recently been resprayed.

When u apply it just be cautious of it, if you get it on the trim it wipes right off. Just do a final walk around when your doing the whole vehicle. From what I saw on my jeep it didn't stain any rubber window material or my fender flares.

You are not doing anything wrong.....hhhmmmm. If this stuff is not working then I recommend you go and get these two items....carburetor cleaner OR WD-40. I had a few spots that were tough to get off on my car and the carburetor cleaner took it right now. Oh, and it won't damage any painted or plastic areas. If you don't feel comfortable with that try the WD-40. Let it set for a couple of minutes and then try to wipe off. I hope this helps!

No. I actually used it on plastic and it made it a bit worse and don't use Meguiar's plastx it can ruin plastic too. If they are light scratches the best thing I found, especially for dark plastics, is Meguiar's Deep Crystal Carnuba Wax. It does not get rid of the scratches but it does help make them a bit less noticeable.

I haven't used it on either of these. Roof-liner material sounds like it would asphalt based so I doubt it would remove that type of stain. You can only try! If the milk stain smells bad and it's the smell you want to remove, I would recommend a product called OdorXit and getting that right down to the pad. Then, after it all dries, try the Get Serious to remove the stain.

Hi, It might work, but I don't know what it will do to the car's finish. A water-soluble paint thinner is probably a better answer. Sap can harden to the point where it can scratch the finish if you remove it early. Let it soften, then wipe it off with a soft cloth. You'll want to wax the car afterwards to protect the finish as the solvents will eat the wax that was there.

So if you're applying it to your vehicle, wash it thoroughly, as if you were going to wax it. You wouldn't apply wax to your car before removing the bugs and tar, would you? Wipe New will restore the color and protect the material from oxidation, which causes white marks. I haven't tried it on metal parts of my car, only on plastics and vinyl, both exterior and interior.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works as a gentle abrasive (like a pencil eraser) so it is unlikely this will remove the stain from what effectively is dyed vinyl. Probably won't hurt though - just don't scrub aggressively or it may scuff smooth vinyl.

I would be careful. It's pretty strong stuff, and I noticed it has removed stain on wood when there was a clear coat over it, so obviously it went through the finish. I would never use it on the exterior of any vehicle. Better safe than sorry. You might want to use something like fiberglass magic if they sell it still and if not, a power washer.

I bought it to remove the adhesive from a trunk lid on a 65 Mustang. It didn't bother the paint that it touched, BUT then again, it didn't take anything off. Alcohol on a rag worked better than the remover for taking the adhesive off.

It should take off mildew easily with or without bleach. As long as the cleaner is okay with plastic it should not be a problem.

I would think so-it's great stuff. BUT I wouldn't leave it on there too long and would make sure when done cleaning it that I hose it off completely to make sure it doesn't degrade the vinyl. I know if you leave it on a painted metal airconditioning diffuser it can make the paint soft in time, but I just clean it and hose it off and it' good. It will probably do a good job taking off scum and discoloring on a raft.

Define safe. It won't peel the paint off, but might dissolve any wax residue on the surface and make for an ineffective mess if that isn't stripped off first. Further as the seller mentioned if a layer thick enough to be effective is used it will create a hazy surface which looks little if any better than a little road grime you wash away periodically.

I have not used this wax over white chalk paint, however, I have never noticed any color change when used over the light oak or dark walnut stains that I have used. I have used it to wax the stainless steel in-feed table on my planer and it acts like any good auto wax, without discoloration.

Hmmm, not really sure. I bought this stuff for my daughters car to clear up the head lights. It did a pretty good job with that. It worked best with a buffer so I'm not sure on items that don't have nice flat surfaces to clean up. If the surface was flat, it should do a good job.
