I climbed into my car today for the first time in 8 weeks after breaking both legs in a motorcycle accident, I noticed the roof lining appears to be stained and possibly mouldy, the car lives outside 24/7 and even though I haven't drive it the OH drives it at least 1-2 times a week.
It's an 11 plate and I assume this would potentially require a new hood and be covered under warranty when I book it in for a service shortly?

Very easy to sort - it's just where the condensation dries - because (contrary to popular belief) the Boxster is not that well sealed! There are lots of water drains and these also allow cold air in ...
When it's warm, use the brush attachment on the hoover to clean off as much as you can on the inside and then spray on some "interior shampoo" or "fabric cleaner" and rub off with a soft, lint free cloth! Job done!
You might also find that by cleaning the roof on the outside and then "re-proofing" (I used the Lenovo products to do this) the water beads on top and because more water runs off, less is trapped by the impermeable lining (and hence there is less condensation).
