Silver! Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Next time you park next to 12yan, tell him you are unhappy with your door shuts and ask if he will show you how to clean them.I reckon he won't be able to stop himself from doing the job for you.

Mr Moley Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 All purpose cleaner or autosmart G101, even tardis helps alot, spray it on liberally leave for 2 minutes, aggitate with brush everywhere for 3-4 minutes until all muck is loose then pressure rinse off at high pressure.

Mr Moley Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 If you use the trick of aiming it into the doorshut first then starting the pressure washer, you dont need to keep it in there very long to completely clean it out.
