bleach in about a 10 to 1 mix with water. kills it fast. Or you could use one of the many porduct on the market for boats that have "meldew" in the title.

Mouzzz, This sounds like fly crap to me. It's like the eggs or something that flys lay. I know you are going to think I'm crazy. They for some reason like white. The best vinyl cleaner I have ever used is Malco leather and vinyl cleaner. Spray it on and use a soft bristle brush. It will clean like you have never seen. I had an upholstery guy turn me onto it several years ago and it is amazing. Onto the glass. Use any rubbing type compound and all will come off. Then wax on and wax off. Problem solved. It will take some elbow grease to get the yellow crap off.
RCL laying out the cleaning tips.....feel like Heloise.

I used that tile cleaner with a mixture of bleach and created some kind of gas that we probably use in the military. Made me really sick. Be careful.

Make sure not to wax it up too much or you'll have trouble getting the "FOR SALE" sign to stick !

I'm sure the who ever buys it, for less money, will really appreciate the effort.

I was thinking, maybe I can mix ammonia and bleach and sell it as a new hip kind of party drug to some tweaker in the inland empire. Maybe I am on to something. Then maybe somday I will be able to afford that new lawn mower I have been saving up for.

Send it to Billy B - he'll clean it. I've heard he has plenty of time on his hands after getting canned from the Jetboatguru gig. :)

Try the "magic eraser" It works great.
We used it on the big Nordic interior and it came
out great.

Just send it to a detailer. Then include his cost plus your time in the price when you sell it this summer.. On second thought that would be to easy. Go ahead and have fun cleaning. :)

Thats not mold, thats a spackle finish. The previous owner knew what you might do to the floor so he lured you in by matching the uphulstery ahead of time. :rollside: :) :rollside:
Just messin with you! :D
