Mould stains on door panels, vinyl detailing

Post by Zolpidem »

Ciao, on my coupe’ vinyl door panels I found numerous mould stains due to the looong inactivity. Lots of and big…. And the car really smells of mould bleah.
Any ideas on how to detail those panels ? And in general how to deal with mould inside the car?
Grazie

Ciao Ludovico,
Maybe you try with vinegar (white) and rinse with water and mild soap afterwards.

Against mould smell: put strong vinegar in a bowl and let it evaporate in the closed car for a week or so.

Second round: try fresh coffee powder in a bowl, also for a week or so

I had coffe powder in the boot of my Jaguar for months after I exchanged the leaking SU fuel pumps for Hardi 18812 pumps - the powder absorbs some of the hydrocarbons, maybe it works also against mould smell
