    Could be Cosmoline. If it is, Simple Green won't touch it. I have some Cosmonot, a life time supply:lol:, next event we are both at I could bring it along. Cosmoline has a dark yellow/green kind of colour to it. If Simple Green does take it off, it is likely just smutze weeping out of the door.

    It seems more like a grease. I'll try the 4:1 water/simple green I use for engine detailing and go from there

    I wouldn't call it 'fixated'..... more like 'mildly annoyed' but yes my MINI OCDness knows just about no bounds! :eek:ut::Thumbsup:

    Sometimes it works out, sometimes, not so much :lol:

    LOL- we have 6 cats (that's NOT a typo), and a rottweiler. One of our cats is special needs, and we have to give her fluids via IV every day. There's a lot to always do/clean up :crazy:

    But back on topic- I think that stuff is Cosmoline related (maybe Cosmoline + grime from the road?)

    Beats the alternative that everyone who owned a Gen 1 Mini had to deal with; Rust.

    Try one wife, three cats, four dogs, 10 horses, one house, one barn and the Mini.

    I just looked and I have the same stuff on my door. Never noticed it before, so thanks a lot for pointing something else out. :lol:

    We just put our diabetic cat down so I can relate (RIP Spot)

    I'll try the Simple Green this weekend. From what Lotsie is saying it that it won't touch it if it's Cosmoline
