Mildew! By poppajon (Read 407 times)

:oHi all poppajon again, I went out to run the scoot this afternoon and found Mildew starting on the backrest for the queenseat, on my jcl its mounted to the trunk. I keep my scoot under a nice nylon cover made for atv,s and its outside under the carport. I think when it rains the moisture when evaporating collects at the highest point, and before it does dry out it can start mildew on your vinyl!. I just cleaned it off with lysol all purpose cleaner and then put vinyl protectant on when dry.
Thought Id pass this along. OK, Happy Holidays to ALL,

How ya doin Alley OOP, merry Christmas, bye Jon...

The secret is better air circulation. When I got a new goldwing I did not have a garage so out came a nylon cover, with in a few months in the spring I had rust on all the upper chrome. It did polish out but Honda said it was from lack of air on a wet possibly salty surface.

Ditto. My 74 Kawasaki suffered the same fate when I left it out with a vinyl cycle cover. The air trapped underneath was damp and rusted the chrome bits.
