is there anyway to stop the annoying blackish dirt that runs down the doors vertically stating at the mirrors after it rains it drives me nuts ARGH
i want to chemically treat the moulding so it doesnt do that or is that just simply dirt?
I dont get much rain here (SoCal), but I know what you are talking about.
I also wash weekly, so I cant say for sure that the following is the reason why I dont see that stain anymore.
I use Vinylex on all exterior plastic/rubber. I am guessing here, but it seems to seal the plastic and stop the stain. I only noticed the stain the first month of owning my box. After that, I used Vinylex and it has not come back. Heres what I did:
Wash as normal. Wash the platic (non painted part) housing again w/ standard car wash. Wipe dry.
Use Viynlex on a foam applicator, work into plastic using circular motion. Let dry 2-3 minutes. Wipe off excess w/ MF. Repeat until no black is left on MF.
I cant say what, but that Vinylex does SOMETHING to that plastic.
