Brett, my apologies for taking so long to respond. I haven't checked this thread in ages!
1. I have never run the A/C on dehumidifer mode and have only had one problem in the past 18 years. My wife recently pulled out a pair of shoes that were tucked down deep in the master SR closet and found them covered in a black mold. I think the A/C unit above them had been dripping for a while. We had a little drama but the shoes cleaned up easily.
2. Re the detailing inquiry. I recommend sending an email to Jimmy Reynolds at Salty Creek Marine (saltycreekmarine@msn.com). He has an employee who does an excellent job of cleaning - washing, waxing, etc.- at least one boat that I know of (a 90 ft yacht). If you have trouble reaching Jimmy, please let me know.
Regards,
