7% white vinegar will disolve it and its water soluble this will not hurt anything and is nature friendly

Just pour some into a cup and use a paint brush,,I bring it back from Sweden 30% proof and dilute it down,, you can put some Salmon in a plastic bag with vinegar 10% and some Dill, put it in the fridge and it will be cooked in 48 hours = wonderful

Hi Malcolm,
We have some white vinegar that my wife uses for various cleaning jobs, but there is no 'proof' figure on the bottle. Would this do the same job as your Swedish brew?:confused:

Is that for cooking Lax or cleaning the mirrors of moss :D:D

Vinegar is dilute acetic acid thats used for cleaning buildings of moss and grime. Its perfect for descaling kettles at 10%. It does not harm paint if it has any strength at all you could just paint a little on the moss and it should dissolve and run off the surfaces,,

The problem is it hidden between the window glass and the felt/rubber. It can be seen only from the inside of the car.

Just paint it on and it will run down to help clear it

Tell you what it is also good for,,when the indicator lamps get moss or green inside,,just tip a little in and shake it all around and bingo its clean, to do it in the car just tip a little into the lens and drive over a few speed humps

Funny enough my last C (C240) had both rear springs break! Only 42k on the clock. I am told there has been a modification since then.:rolleyes:
