Ever seen these?

For the last month or so, these spots have been showing up on my boat. They won't wipe off with just my finger... But if I put a little spit on my finger, they wipe right off (insert wise-azz comments here!):D

They are almost black in color, but appear to be green when they get wet and wipe off. They aren't a big deal, I've just never seen them before and was wondering WTF they are:rolleyes:

Spider eggs?????

You wore gloves when you touched it right? It's Anthrax! You'll notice effects in a year or so when your nads fall off!

J.K. - I have noticed some of that stuff on my previous baja, It was my thought that it was exhaust residue the built up in some areas. I didn't pay much more attention to it after I wiped it off evry once in a while. Maybe I was wrong, and its something else? Take it to your local forensic lab for analysis.

LMAO:eek:

It kind of looks like mildew, but it doesn't show up under the cover...but right below it and in places where there shouldn't be any mildew. It never happened last year and the boat was on my lift then.:confused: :confused:

That looks like a job for a bleach/water filled insect prayer!:eek:

On a side note.....i just cleaned my dads deck boat and it had some mold issues in the vinyl. Tried a number of cleaners including Soft Scrub with Bleach etc....while all of them did work to a degree....the one i found that seemed to work the best was Bleach White you get from any auto parts store for cleaning white wall tires!!! After i was doe i coated with some 303 vinyl protectant and it was like new!!!
