Cleaning suggestion, algae

[SuperDOS]

Anyone got tips for cleaning green algae from the door handles.

1 cup of bleach per gal of water. Wash. Don't let the bleach dry on the paint/glass.

I think white vinegar will do the same but isn't as hard on the glass and paint

Thanks will give it a go.
Anyone tried chemical guys products?

Not to take over this thread but, any good products to bring the black back to these handles? I know this is blasphemy but my boss put petroleum jelly on my handle a 4 months ago and it brought back the shine for about 3 months... but i hear that may damage the plastic.

I have moss/algae all over my yard because most of the yard is 1.) facing north 2.) shaded by LARGE trees even though it gets hot...90-100+ all summer here. I use a mix of bleach/Dawn and brush (i.e scrub) it down on the deck, concrete etc. The bleach kills the algae, the soap washes it away. Just using a wrung out rag will kill the algae on the handles, then just wash the car. As long as you soap it up and rinse it off it won't hurt the paint.

As far as restoring the black on Jeep trim there is a product called "Back to Black", https://www.zoro.com/mothers-back-t.../i/G5430175/?gclid=CIrimJvSudQCFRBxfgodUO8LLw but I don't know who makes it. Usually I have used Fusion Matte (paint for plastic) and it usually has lasted 2-3 years looking new.
