It's a Bayliner that has sat uncovered outside for years. It is faded on the outsided and mildew or mold on the inside. Help please.

Use power washer first. Then use rubbing compound and elbow grease. After it has shine, use wax to protect it.
on the inside for the mold you probably need a bleach solution to remove the mold. For teak use a teak cleaner and teak oil after. Any cloth that can be remoed needs a machine wash with bleach or bleach alternative.

the inside can be cleaned with bleach/water solution. somewhere between 25 to 50% bleach-depending on how bad it is-scrubbing with this solution. the outside is caused by oxidation of the paint. this will, probably, be above your knowledge/equipment level. it is a multistage process to restore the color. you could possibly make it shine, but it would still be orange rather that red (substitute your color).
if you want to try it pick a spot that does not show and do the following.
1. use a "rubbing compound"
2. use a "polishing compound"
3. use a good wax
these can all be purchased at an auto parts place
professionally, this is done with a power buffer, but if you don't know how to use one you can burn (ruin) the paint.
it can be done by hand, but it's SERIOUS work. I mean way serious!!

Use automotive rubbing compound for a start, followed by a good paste wax job. You probably can bring the hull back to a nice condition. If that fails, then repaint with one of the epoxy or polyurethane 1 part paints. Even with a roller, you can get professional looking results.

My husband I had the same problem with our older Mutany. He went the local marina/boat store and bought a product that gets rid of the oxidization/white stuff that forms when a boat sits in the sun. I'm sorry I don't have the exact name, but there were several to choose from. Good luck!!

i would first wash it down with a good citrus degreaser wash. then find a good polish for marine gel coats. any marine store should have a good selection but parts stores have some to. then you want a good marine wax. for my money i would use collinite 845. its cheap and it has great durability. look it up and see what you find. just my $.2
