68 vette--mildew

A friend has a 68, stored in his brothers garage under a cover. Opened up the car and everything is a wonderful color of mold.



It has cloth seat covers, anyone know of a way to get rid of it without any more damage.

My 68' Camaro has a similar problem. I cleaned everything with a chlorine solution and it was good for a while. The mold came back after a though. Now I'm resigned to just replace my houndstooth seat covers and buns. My seats are part cloth and part vinyl and I don't see any other way to get rid of the mold. It's a good thing I'm just putting my car back together or I'd be pretty upset about the extra cash I have to lay out for the replacement Interior pieces.

you might try an ozonator. the ozone should kill stuff at a high enough concentration, although it can also damage some plastics.

An acqaintance used it to clean the smell out of his car carpets after some water damage. He was all praise for it. Never used it myself. Don't think I can get any anyways, they don't ship to california.
