Black Mold

[The purple one]

I may have to wash my truck soon The black mold is getting bad on the back of the cab and window The last time it was washed was about 2 years ago from the guy I got it from. I would think it would have laseted longer right

You need to drive it more.

Where my dad keeps his old Dodge it grows mold too, it comes off very easy with a pressure washer... almost kind of fun really.

I drive it everyday. But it only a 2.3 so it will not go that fast So that must be why the mold is growing .

 

[whocares]

Seems like theres an old saying about that..... A rolling stone gathers no moss, but a good running 2.3 cant outrun mold. Or something to that effect.

^ LMAO!!!!

As for washing it out...if it's REALLY black mould..that crap can mess you up BADLY!! It's a spore and as soon as you disturb it, it flies everywhere! Including your respratory system. Spores love growing in damp dark places.

I've watched a show on this before. An entire family got really sick suddenly and they couldn't figure out why. Both kids almost died(they're permanently on inhalers) and the dad's head is all F**ked up now to the point where he can't leave his agenda behind for longer than 5 minutes.

They found out it was black mould growing in the house that caused it.

The Hotsy sends it at somewhere around Mach 2 away from me. I don't think it is really the bad black mold, it just grows on a it from sitting in the shade all the time.

We have an E-series van at work that grew black mold on the roof. I washed it down with bleach (wouldn't do this to my own truck) and it got rid of it. Btw i have a 2.3L, and I don't think it is that slow, lol (used to own a mustang).

i think mine is growing it too. Besides a pressure washer, how would I get it off?

mitt wash the truck and then wax it good. basic detailing. a pressure washer will still leave a film on the truck. (anyone with a black or white vehicle can tell you this from experience...)

Lots of mold is black.
