I bought specific mildew remover which treats the surface with an anti
microbial coating.  Some said this also may help my advancing baldness, but
hey, I'll try anything once.

I scrubbed the entire underside of my pop-top which worked very well.  The
fuzz is now gone, but so is the mildew which has yet to return after 1.5
years.  Same for my hair.

I must say that this mildew remover/preventer worked a lot better than
Colorox bleach I have used before.  Now if I could remember the name of the
product...  there must be some other spray for that.  I know I bought it at
Home Depot.

I see you have a 2.3 GoWesty.  May I recruit you for the 30-50 3rd gear
challenge? http://www.vanagonauts.com/30---50-3rd-Gear-Challenge236.htm
