Cleaning Shore Power Cables
My 50amp SP cables are almost completely black from mildew (I guess) or whatever turns them black. I'm berthed in fresh water under cover. Has anyone found anything that could be applied with a sprayer and rinsed off that would work. I'm too old to go the acetone/scotchbrite/elbow grease route.

I was thinking Purple Power (undiluted) and careful use of an electric pressure washer (multiple applications if necessary)..I understand that I need to keep this stuff away from the fiberglass and polished aluminum...any other ideas? Thanks in advance.
