I could use that method, Brian. The paintwork is already so scratched that the use of a Brillo pad wouldn't make things much worse

I have that problem with the green stuff along chrome side strips and have going to tackle it for some time..........
......just a thought though on cleaning the chrome strips:
I would keep an eye on "water in the boot problem" afterwards as you might be disturbing stuff from the strips that may have helped with "sealing"
