Since I began using it, I've only seen one small spot where mildew grew.  I can only believe this spot was not cleaned as directed before applying the product.  I clean it, and reapplied and have seen no more.  I have reapplied a couple of times using the spray bottle fine mist.  My past experience is that my boat would be covered in mildew times over by now.  I usually clean it several times during the fall/winter.  I do not anticipate taking the cover off till spring.  I do not know if the product will work for you, but I am definitely sold on it.  Personally, I can't help but believe a bleach product is bad as the manufacturers strongly discourage it and they have nothing to gain by doing so.  Lowes sells the gallon size, Home Depot in Auburn only has the quart.  But if you try this, be mindful of the Zep product you pick up.  The one I am using is "Clear Shell", a product of the crabbing industry containing Chitosan.  There is another Zep product mildew inhibitor that DOES contain bleach.
