<VV> Black Mold

[Andy Clark]

Arjay, go to your local friendly marine store. They sell non-bleach products
for killing and removing mold. It's an endemic problem in boats.

both the front and rear seat backs. It's now the rainy season in Florida
with average relative humidities in the 80% range. The car lives with its
top down, under a breathable car cover, inside a well ventilated carport.

strength Clorox on the red seats it will bleach them pink. I also know the
mold, left untreated, will eat the vinyl.
