Mildew - Help?

[Will75]

Just taken my Bombard Aerotec 380 out of storage after three years and have discovered that the white rubbing strake is now almost black with mildew stains. The rest of the boat is in almost perfect condition.

I have tried bleach, petrol and thinners combined with pressure washing and scrubbing but it's still being pretty stubborn - any ideas please?

Thanks in advance.

Rib revive - Muck off marine - TFR

Thanks for that, which is best do you think? The stains are pretty tough!

Got a few of these on mine ...bad news is nothing I have tried ( including the above ) has shifted them.

Acetone but use sparingly

I have exactly the same problem with a Cobra that I have recently brought. I am going to do some cleaning tomorrow so will let you know how I get on!

I have used a product called HG mould and mildew remover purchased it in homebase,way way better than any other product with similar claims.

Thank you, have you actually used it on a mouldy rubbing Strip?
