How to clean exterior door slabs?

[CarefulCleaner]

What do you call these slabs on the doors of a Honda CR-V?



There's an awful lot of grime on mine, and I feel tempted to get a toothbrush, since soapy water and microfiber clothes aren't working so well.

Is there a tool I can use to get in those tough angles?

Thanks!

Are you talking about dirt that collects behind there? If so, I tend to spray in there with the HP washer to flush out whatever gets caught behind there on cars I detail that have those strips.

I wouldn't be taking a toothbrush to your car's paint - if you do need a brush there are many paint safe options available via Autogeek.

Hi, welcome to AutoGeekOnline!

As Lawrence mentioned, use a pressure washer to flush the door trim free of debris. Don't get to close to the trim with the pressure washer as it may remove the trim off the door.

Apc soft brush done.
