Best mildew and mold remover I've used in a while.

I had the same with my '04 228 - put white crew socks on each armrest and it looks real good - as they get dirty they will be changed. thank god for socks bought on ebay that didn't fit me very well.

No boating going on so finally got around to painting mine and am very pleased with the result (well so far, time will tell). I did 2 cleanings with the Starbrite, the 1st with a brushing and rinse after 15 min and the 2nd I left it on there for a couple hours before rinsing. A couple days later on a nice sunny day I painted, the 1st coat I let dry for over 4 hours and did 2 additional costs after that. My DW saw them and said good job because that was the one she always noticed on my boat was those nasty armrests. They don't look as white in real life as they do in that one picture.

Have any of you guys replaced the armrests completely? Mine have pretty much fallen apart and repainting them isn't an option. I was hoping someone had an idea of where to get parts and how to swap them out. Thanks in advance!

I also have a 2004 Gulfstream. I had the upholstery guy re-cover them. They look great.

What style do you have? I bought new ones for my 2004 Pompanette captain's chairs last year, direct from Pompanette. $150 or so a pair, includes the metal U bracket that mounts on the seat.
