I have black metal window trim that has "molded" with whitish markings. Will Wipe New cover this mold?

To get the best results from Wipe New, you need to thoroughly clean whatever it is you'll be using it on. If there's mold or mildew, make sure to clean it with a mildew remover first. 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. I've been very pleased with the results I get from Wipe New. I hope that answers your question.

Please use extreme caution with this product. It will not last as advertised. And could make the problem worse. If there is a true mold a 2 to 1 mixture of bleach and water could work. Use gloves and watch you do not get any on your clothes. Try a small spot first to see how it responds. Although I think a simple cleaning and repaint to exact match is how I would handle it. It could be a simple matter of wax build up, and then all you need to do,is get a old tooth brush and soapy water and be carful to watch your paint. Good luck,!

The directions tell you not to get any on metal. I'd use rubbing or polishing compound, depending on how bad the markings are.

I used it on my black metal patio furniture that had a lot of white marks and it worked beautifully.

First you need to determine the cause of the mold then eliminate it. The machine will take care of it from there.

Mine was silver, so I can't be definitive. However, it matches the original unpainted black base that attaches to the door. It is glossy as any other glossy virgin PVC parts comes. If you want it to match an original black mirror that you're not changing on the other side, I'd suggest you at least clear-coat a few times. This would also provide some wear/scratch resistence to the body.

U might want to check an additive that is put in paint to fight mold or mildew. This paint might work for your application but why spend $30 + when it only comes in black. U could purchase various other colors with an anti mold agent for half the price.

I have used this on the metal/plastic frame around our RV windows but when I used a little around the caulking on our refrigerator exterior vent, it did take away the shine. I haven't tried anything else just to be on the safe side. The problem is that it didn't do anything to prevent more mold from forming. So far I haven't found anything to help and we are full-timers; we suffer from old around ALL windows and it is a true struggle.

Trim is about 2 inches wide. My husband says the he's not sure if the moulding is rubber, it might be but feels slightly plastic-y. It looks great installed and have had no problems with it so far.

I have an awning on my 5th wheel that was discolored by mold. I sprayed it on, scrubbed with a soft brush and it turned out beautiful. My awning is vinyl.

Use Lacquer thinner much faster and it does a better job make sure you open the windows. Also only $ 14.00 a gallon and you can twice the area. poor it on a small area and wipe it up with a clean rag use gloves

I haven't removed it, but it is not supposed to damage the original finish. I will probably not remove it unless it starts to peel loose. I don't know if that happens or not.

Use uni solve adhesive remover wipes. You can order it from Amazon. Works great!

I have chrome finish. I wipe it down because I love the way it looks but I suppose it doesn't matter if you don't.

Oh no try doing a test patch using white vinegar mixed with water, but dry right way.It should strip the finish off.Good luck! I have tile thru out as I live in the tropics.

The door sill trim plates are designed for the door sill and not the black plastic part. I think you would have problems with shutting the door with the trim plates on the plastic part but you can certainly try. I would try with some cheap double-sided tape and not the tape provided to remove easily if it doesn't work.

It depends what kind of paint there is,if it is oil based paint witch is usually on the window frames it shouldn't come of ,if it is latex paint I wouldn't recommend sticking this tape to it,about residue I didn't have any from last year(I used on oil based paint)the whole thing came of in one piece.sorry if my English is not perfect,its not my first language.ps.if you going to spend money on this type of window insulation get frostking it's much better.

It's not the most perfect advise but what I did was clean my window off and stick it on there , then cleaned the dust off. It worked perfectly. If there is dust on the sticker part , you might have to buy a new one.

I don't know if my window sill is covered with a stain or a varnish. But when the adhesive strip on the sill started to come off after 3 years it didn't hurt the finish. The window faces east. I bought Industrial Strength Velcro to replace the strip on the sill.
