I'm having an issue with mildew on my white fiberglass boat. I pressure wash off the mildew but it's always back a few weeks later. always all over my gunnels and console and other not so often rubbed against spots. Deck stays clean though. I'm thinking maybe it's in need of wax to keep it gone? I didn't have this problem until owning the boat for about 6 months. It gets lots of use in the salt and lives uncovered in the sun. What's the best course of action to keep the stuff away next time I pressure wash it? I see all these brilliant white boats and no matter how much I wash this thing I still end up with white boat envy:mad:

help please?

Re: Mildew keeps coming back

Mix 2 tablespoons of Woolite and 2 cups of white vinegar into a gallon of water. Salt water promotes mildew. This concoction will greatly help to keep it from coming back.


I'm just sayin...:D
