It's only green Algae, the same type you'll often seen on greenhouses etc (often glass). Just wipe off occasionally, it won't come back very quickly and only will in wet weather. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

You got to love Defenders. Most folk clean their cars with shampoo and wax, we use bleach and weed killer!

I spray it with Polycell Mould killer spray. It turns brown and then disappears for about six months. I use it on the caravan too because I found that a toothbrush and bleach spray resulted in the mould returning after only a few weeks

Even better. Interestingly I have had no sign of it in my current Defender.

That's interesting borderterrier, because I didn't have the green algae until my Defender was about 3 yrs old. Maybe it takes a few years to soak up dust/dirt in the felt before the algae takes hold.

Buy some of this.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wet-Forget-Lichen-...and+forget I use it on everything outdoors - Defender - caravan - paving slabs - garden furinture - etc.. Stays effective for about a year and there's no work involved. Just spray it on and forget...... It's magic.  |

Looks like a god option for the caravan, the roof gets covers in algae being parked up.
