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.

There's a chemical called viro-sol that is citrus based that would be quite good foor cleaning various items on vehicle's we use it to clean concervatory roofs it also very good on alloy wheels its about £13.00 + postage for 2x5tr's you can get it from The Cleaning Warehouse in Wolverhampton they also offer a mix and match where you could have 5ltr of viro-sol and 5ltr of comet (interior upholstery shampoo ) there no. is 01902 307070

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.
