Well.... if I got this right you should see picture to my previous post. If not I give up on posting picture.
OK since I got the pictures to work here is what I said in my previous thread.

Well my husband finally got me to start on his dirty, nasty boat. It took me about three hours just to get the first layer of dirt off the seats and clean the carpet. The shop vac finally bit the dust, so I had to use my household carpet cleaning machine. My husband has left it uncovered for many weeks, full well knowing I would get tired of looking at it and clean the darn thing.
Anyway.... the dashboard area is in bad shape! I think there is mildew on it and it looks really dried out and faded! It feels like it is just hard plastic. What do you recommend to protect it if I ever get it clean. The boat is a reg. fishing boat, Lund. I took some before pic, however last time I tried to post picture I got mad and gave up. Any thoughts on what to use on the dash?
Feed back please

Looks like you need some Meg's APC 10:1, Woolite 10:1, or Amazing Roll Off

As you said, it's his boat. Tell him to clean it, cover it, and maintain it, or sell it.
If he won't take care of his toy, he shouldn't have bought it.
As you may have surmised, I hate to see people buy a boat and then let it deteriorate.
Try one of the mildewcides available at your local boat supply store & 303 on the vinyl.
Then GET A COVER ON IT! All the 303 in the world isn't going to help for long if it sits out in the elements 24/7. Best to have a cover that allows outside air to ventilate underneath.

Yikes. He really let that get dirty! How wonderful of you to clean it! I would not want to!
I agree with them - the Meg's APC is great. Never tried Amazing Roll off, but I hear tell it's awesome.
Let us know, Tonya!!!

That is DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEsgusting wowwwwwww

Yes, you got to tell him to cover it now so that no more harm will be done, and also after you're done with that nasty boat.

Another recommendation for Amazing Roll Off. It will clean what others can't touch. This is first hand information not guesswork.

I agree, Amazing Roll Off works great. (My favorite use for it is to take the diesel soot off the transom of my sailboat). Then spray that Mildewcide and Mildew preventer on everything and cover it.

Amazing roll off is on the way! I will not have time to work on it again until the weekend. I will post some pics when it finally gets done! I am in no big hurry. Oh yeah, the sad thing is he has a cover he just never left it off for a few weeks. From what I have found inside I believe there were some squirrels making a happy home in there and some leave from a year or two ago. I don't think he has even taken the boat out in two years. I suggested he sell it, but he likes knowing he can go fishing whenever he wants. Whats a wife to do

I found some marine mildew spray in the garage, but it must be a few years old. Does this stuff expire?

Tonya, I love your quote at the bottom of your sig!

I don't know for sure but I would play it safe & buy some.
I think I've seen it (3M brand) in the sporting goods section at Walmart.
Make sure to get both the stuff that kills the mildew & prevents mildew growth.

Ok I made some progress on the boat today.

I had to stop it looks like it might rain.
I took some pictures of the back part of the boat. Can I hit this section with the hose? I assume the covers on the wires are designed just to keep them together, right?
