Re: Mold on fiberglass? Reply #1 – May 16, 2019, 03:18:52 pm Are you sure that you have mold? Have you been around a hackberry/nettle/Celtis tree? If so it could be from them. Either way try a microfiber towel with vinegar.In your second pic. what is that in the right lower corner that looks like something pealing off? If this is some kind of coating then you may have something bleeding through.Pamela & Mike Quote Selected
Re: Mold on fiberglass? Reply #2 – May 16, 2019, 03:19:37 pm Kinda looks like oil.. try some degreaser and see if it comes off.. if it is mold do 10-1 mix of bleach and that should kill it.. or was it 8-1 mix.. Just a guess though Quote Selected
Re: Mold on fiberglass? Reply #3 – May 16, 2019, 03:44:43 pm Nothing is peeling! Think that just a streak from me cleaning the area! New to us coach, so I am not sure what it been around! It doesn't smear, so I don't think it's oil/grease, but I'll try cleaning it again. Vinegar and water solution did not work. Quote Selected

Re: Mold on fiberglass? Reply #8 – May 16, 2019, 06:04:11 pm I use Bar Keeper's Friend on our coach with great success. It will remove the most stubborn stains without harming the gel coat. I DO NOT use it on the decals, nor would I use it on a painted surface. But for the original gel coat, it is excellent. Powder or "soft" liquid - both work equally well.In the Garage | How to Use | Bar Keepers Friend® Quote Selected 1 Likes

Re: Mold on fiberglass? Reply #10 – May 17, 2019, 12:49:26 pm We like Clorox Clean-Up. Works really well as it's a detergent with bleach. Cleans the Corian beautifully. Leave it a stubborn stain for a few minutes and most will come out.Keith Quote Selected 1 Likes
