It will but its scratchy stuff. I'd finish with T-cut to at least stop the moss from sticking so easily afterwards and then a good wax.

Yep - kills mildew and moss does bleach. T-cut good for slowing down any reoccurence though.

We use something called barkeeps friend, someone gave us it, it does an amazing job of cleaning gunk from the enamal paintwork on the narrowboat, even stuff thats chimney residue, and it works really well on the yacht coachroof and top sides which are fibreglass. No idea where you buy it though.
