Cleaning Rubber Boots in Door Jambs
I was disappointed that I couldn't get these areas any cleaner.
Used Optimum Power Clean followed by CG Citrus Wash & Clear with a Wheel Woolie.
I was able to determine that the light areas that look dirty area actually areas with NO base coat on them. The light color you see is primer.
What are you using to clean the OEM coating off of the rubber boots?
In my photo they are labeled Door and Body.
I scrubbed and scrubbed with OPC and IPA on the Door boot with OK results, but took too long.
Body door boot was cleaned less aggressively.
Both were dressed with 1Z Gummi.

Re: Cleaning Rubber Boots in Door Jambs
I would think that the large wheel woolie brush would not be the best choice into getting inside small cracks and crevices.
These might be better choices.
The Wheel Woolies Boar's Hair Detailing Brush, 1.25 Inch
Wheel Woolies Boar’s Hair Detail Brush 1 inch
You can get that brush or just head down to Home Depot and see what brushes they have.
or something like this
Lug Nut Brush,Clean Wheel Brush,clean brake calipers, clean lug nuts, boar's hair wheel brush, best wheel brush, wheel lug nuts

Steam if you have it would prolly do wonders in there

I also use brushes for that application. I have several for different purposes and i have cut the bristles down on some so they are shorter and thus a little stiffer for some areas. Plus i'm not too concerned about scratching a rubber grommet or boot.

This is the method to start with and works most of the time(steam).Keep handy small wooly or boars hair and small bucket of water/apc mix if needed.After treating areas with APC/water mix blast with steam.Turns out excellent.

Kinda looks like some left over cosmoline,
or moly-grease, from my viewpoint.
Cosmoline Remover just may do the trick.
Prima has their version:
Prima Cosmonot Cosmoline Remover, Prima cosmoline cleaner

Great tip.
Thanks Bob
