Good idea. I will. The car has been drying out. Haven't attempted to mess with the mold until I finalize everything with the insurance company. Luckily we've had surprisingly great weather.

Wow. Yeah, I thought mine was bad. Mines not even close. Insurance doesnt want the liability with mine. Just waiting for their offer. Im keeping and restoring it. May need help from a shop like in the link just to clear any mold spores in vents.

After Harvey I saw several cars that looked like that.
They started out looking like grus's car and within a week or so looked like the one in the link above.
I also met someone who bought one from Copart that looked about like grus's and he cleaned it thoroughly...only to have it grow back a few weeks later.
You have to remove and discard anything porous.
All the other surfaces can be cleaned.

Same thing happens to my shower. I'll kill the mold and mildew with bleach and within a week, it's coming back. Any ideas?
