Zep, works great and its cheap. Of course like all, its a bleach based formula but its the right mix. Works great on scum in the bilge too. Be warned, you will bleach out anything you are wearing the gets dripped on. I've used it for years and suggested it to many of my friends, they all agree, "good stuff"!!!
You have to rinse very well. The chlorine based bleach can accelerate aging of the stitching assuming you are also cleaning areas with sewn seams.

Bought a neglected, used boat here in Florida. Tried to salvage the vinyl upholstery from the mildew and stains but bleach, vinegar, etc., was not working. I found this mildew remover for the boat seat and figured it would be my last-ditch effort to salvage the upholstery. AMAZING! The secret is patience. Give it time to work. I sprayed the Star Brite on the cushions and waited until the discoloration was gone. Granted that some areas required more than one application, the stains are gone.
