I just came in from trying to clean 7 that had badly mildewed (being in
storage for 10 years) -- Clorox worked best. I also tried Ajax,
whitewall tire cleaner, and oxy clean. I wiped them all down with
Clorox first, then tried the other things. I'd say Clorox got me 90% as
far as I got -- none of the others did much more. There are still
stains and black marks on them, but not as noticeable.

400/600 wet on a board?


Not worth the effort. The color is uniform, so someone looking for the old
home port really does have to look at the raised area as a raised area. And
the former home port is no deep dark secret.
