Hey Guys,

I'm starting to notice more and more a lovely greeny looking fungus starting to form in the edges of my rear lights. They are FR rears so its quite noticeable when looking...

I've read on here that they are sealed clusters so I imagine these are going to be a right pain in the bottom to get clean.. or are they?? Are there any magical cleaning foams or products that will help?

Any tips would be much appreciated..

Thanks

Dave

I guess just a normal weedkiller/moss killer or pathclear would do the job, check if its okay to use on plastics and the paintwork first though

i'd try an all purpose cleaner and a cheapy toothbrush first, see how that goes mate.

YES! as it happens..

After a little tinkering around, the glass doesn't totally meet the casing, hence why all this moss is forming..

So.. open the boot and you can get to the nearest edge of lights that are on the bodywork, simply using either a tooth brush or a detailing brush with a little water and shampoo..

Just need to take the clusters off the bodywork and the tailgate now so I can get right round them... Looking good so far though..
