Here you go!<br>
I sell it over the counter. We find it works most of the time. But not in
all cases. <br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">So... I have mildew marks on the
gold 'velvet' that covers the inside of the Westy Poptop on my '85.&nbsp;
I've tried killing the mildew with Lysol which seemed to work pretty well
but I can't get rid of the nasty-looking dark splotches.&nbsp; I've tried
fabric spray with bleach, spray carpet &amp; upholstery cleaner, and
simple green with a brush.&nbsp; Nothing works... and I don't want to
scrub too hard and rub off the 'velvet'.<br><br>
Has anyone experimented with fabric paint, or gluing another layer of
fabric over the old stuff?&nbsp; <br>
I want to tackle this before or with the spring project of replacing the
canvas.<br><br>
