Is there any cleaner/substance that will remove mold from the paint work? It wont even think of comming off even with lots and lots of kero and wash+wax. Result of 10yrs out on the ramp with no TLC 
Would love to get it off!

Eucalyptus oil can get some grease and crap off ther other cleaners can't.
Ajax professional mould remover would be my choice for once-off mould removal (not for prolonged use). I've discovered this one works far better at home than the others, try it in your shower and you'll see what I mean, leave it on for 5-10 mins before rinsing off.

Mate use Truck Wash Gold. I forget who makes it but it's super-effective at getting rid of the assorted insects and general detritus that makes your plane look like a museum relic. You just hose her down, scrub the stuff on with a broom and make sure you rinse, otherwise she'll be covered in blue streaks, which I can assure you don't look great on white paint.
You can use it on the perspex but you're better off using water and some mister sheen for those bits.
Maybe if you clean enough of em they'll even let you fly one!

Yeah mate, but I wasn't the one flying it, was I? I never actually got to clean that thing anyway. It was so brand-spanking new I felt unclean even standing next to it, let alone touching it. I was terrified truck wash would just strip off all the beautiful shiny new paint.
By the way, thanks for just revealing my identity to all the folk up here in Darwin. Thankfully, this thread is so fcuking boring I doubt any of them will read it.

Back to the thread. Try Simple Green Aircraft Cleaner. Absolute gold, and approved by Boeing (or it says so on the label at least). Available in 750ml spray and 4 ltr. Great stuff, although may be a bit harder to find. We get ours from an industrial company called Blackwoods.
