Cleaning Rub Rail

Post by KenKrawford »

Has anyone found anything to remove the black mold from the rub rail? This weekend I tried Soft Scrub, bleach and Jomax, undiluted bleach and viny/rubber cleaner. It's looks a little better but still has a long way to go.
What's your favorite?

Ken,

Mr Clean Extra Power Magic Erasers will remove the mold with a lot of elbow grease and a number of pads.

And while it's not magic, it did completely remove the mold.

Like u, i had tried a number of concoctions w/o success.

Sam's carries a canister of 10 at a reasonable price

Acetone works great - use rubber gloves and cloth rags. Avoid rubbing the hull or else you will dull the wax on it.

You must have different mold that me. :D Acetone was also a "no go".
