Bolster and seat mildew

[rchilds]

I have a 2004 Marlin 300 that has spent a lot of time in the sun. The bolsters and seats have a moderate amount of etching with small dots of mildew in the cracks. I have tried to clean this with a 1:3 Clorox mixture, but this has not worked well. Another post said that he had success with Starbright Mildew Remover. Another post said to use SEM cleaner, prep and marine vinyl coat (What Color?) I would appreciate suggestions. This is the last of my projects for now. I have repowered it, new A/C (what a job!), and generator repair. Just need the white vinyl to look good since it sits right next to the yacht club for all to see!
Thanks,
Rick

I have used ZEP Mold Stain and Mildew Stain remover with very good results. Get it at Home Depot. I rub it on with a soft brush, wait 5 minutes and wash it off. On some tuff stains I had to do it twice but mine look like new.

I second the ZEP. It works well for me.
If your mildew is in the foam, it is a harder situation to treat. So soaking it for a while may help. Just make sure you give the cushions a good rinse and let them dry.
