I knew Deere made good tractors and lawn equipment, but didn't know they had such a good cleaner.

I'm not shocked. They make an awesome flat chassis paint that people have used for years to spray their hot rods with. It's tough and affordable. The idea that they have a great cleaner makes sense to me. I'd have never thought to look there in a million years, though.

Walk into a Deere implement store some day. You'll be amazed at the stuff to buy that's green and yellow.

For example, I have a lifetime supply of those foam earplugs...in, you guessed it, green and yellow.

Westleys

My favorite on that MB tex is Westley's Sure Wonder White, basically a while wall tire cleaner. Spray it one, and use a damp cloth to wipe it up. Works like a magic. Buy it cheap by the half gallon at the Zone, Wally World, Napa. I see it all over.

For the hardcore crust I hit it with Simple Green. Does a good job and doesn't asphyxiate me as I drive around later. Magic Erasers are great, but I find them only useful for very mild grime ... use it on heavily dirtied areas and the Eraser is ready for the waste bin after cleaning about 3 square inches. I usually go Simple Green to get the worst of it off, then Magic Eraser to make it really clean and then cap it off with 303 Aerospace Protectant.

Mold is organic, so I would use something like Nature's Miracle, available at pet stores.
