Subject:Cleaning Westy poptop of plants and fungus
From:Henry Jackson

Now that I have my 82 diesel Westy in my driveway (after sitting at my friend's house in the woods for 5 years) and am slowly going through the mechanicals, I feel I have a responsibility to my neighbors who are looking quizzically at the camper with pop top open, with dark gray fungus and lichen (yes lichen) growing all over it.

I was about to attack it with Clorox and a scrubbing pad, but I thought I'd ask the collective wisdom of this group for suggestions on how to rid the top of all that plant matter.  I don't need the fiberglass to be perfect, just less ugly.  

While this question is being pondered, any suggestions about how to safely remove 5 years of paint oxidation would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Henry
