Has anyone tried painting their uncleanable arm rests
Yes I painted them using general hardware spray paint and it worked well. Tried everything to clean the mold spots before I went with the paint.

Dennis, the only product I've tried is 3M Marine Mold and Mildew Block. It seemed to work for a while. The only reason I chose that one was that it said "Marine". All of the products that say things like "mold inhibitor" rather than protectant should work.

The product you mentioned sounds interesting since it's cheaper and is supposed to last longer.

Thanks, Doc. I think I'll give that a try over the winter. There's no question that a main reason I get mold is because the gel is chalky so it holds lots of "food". I have limited time when I'm at the cottage and I just don't feel like spending that time buffing and waxing. If I can find a product to help me "cheat" a little bit...

My arm rests were really dirty. 5 minutes later this is the result using "Super Slick Stuff".
