Moss/algae suddenly springing up on car - any fixes?
Have had my 'new' car for 6 months but, with all the damp conditions lately, I noted today an alarming sprouting of very fine, bright green moss or algae along many of the seals and edges. Is there a reliable way of dealing with this problem? Very grateful for any thoughts.
