It has been a while-nice to be back. So, I had to park my car under my metal carport for the past six months as I had a wood working project going on in my garage. I pulled the cover off to go for a spin today. I was greeted to a white mold all over the interior. It is going to be a while, cleaning, but does anyone have a suggestion of something that will clean, kill, and hopefully prevent this from occurring anytime soon? My concern is that any thing that kills mold will also bleach the interior. Thanks for any suggestions.
 
Vinegar will kill mold. I doubt it will effect the interior like bleach will. Spray it on and let it sit for about an hour then wipe it off. Try it on a small spot first.
 
Good idea on the vinegar.

Say, what type of material did you cover the car with? was it a "name" car-cover?

I'm wondering if it was so air-tight that any interior moisture couldn't evaporate, and air couldn't circulate, for that six month period.
