    How do I remove this "mold" from rubber trim?

    I notice down here in South Florida, a lot of people don't protect their rubber trim and you get what appears to be a mold. It's almost a little on the reddish side. I've tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it and can't.

    Any suggestions??

    This picture is a mild care, not very bad. But I've seen MUCH worse and will get pictures if needed.

    I would try a Mr Clean sponge with some APC on it.

    Mothers back to black trim cleaner will take that off with ease. I've used it on rubber trim worse than that and it brought it back to like new condition.

    Goof off should work. I use it all the time to clean and renew dirty rubber and plastic trim. It removes wax stains from rubber and plastic as well.
