Mildew????????

I have noticed what appears to be a black mildew on most of my seams and where there is caulking compoud.She is a 2004 Bambi that is sitting in my driveway uncovered and in the bright california sun most of the day.I have tried simple green,is it o.k. to use a mild bleach?

I use a 50/50 mix of Clorox and water. Spray on with an inexpensive plastic pump sprayer. Check the roof. Mildew likes the caulking around the fans, AC and skylite.

Is this o.k. to get on the clear coat?

Forgot to add, I wash it off with a car wash brush and a bucket with autowash. Rinse with a hose.

Mine is a 2002 and it has not hurt the clear coat, The 50/50 mix is mild enough for the paint.

Thanks I guess I can try it out on a small area and see what happens.Is this a common problem?Never noticed it until last month.

I do it about once every couple years, I use Walbernize on on the surfaces twice a year. This will help hold down on the mildew also.
