Opened up the project car and found a surprise

I've got a car I've been working on here and there for a few years. The last year I haven't shown it any attention and thus it sat this entire time. Today I opened it up and found some mold/mildew?! Looked around and seems to only be on the seats/dash and centre console. I'm just wondering how salvageable this can be considering I've got a heap of new parts to put on but don't want to bother if this is going to be no bueno.

Can I use some concoctions or store products and get this cleaned up?

Hanging Car Scent Residue

so the other day I was at Panera Bread, and they were giving out free hanging car scents. I didn’t wanna hang it from my rearview mirror because it was pretty big and I didn’t want it obstructing my vision. So I hung it up on my 26 Camry‘s volume knob, and I didn’t realize that if it was with direct contact with my glass and aluminum display that it would get stuck due to heat and leave a glue sticky residue on my screen. Unfortunately, it hardened over the course of two days because I didn’t have time to remove it. Does anyone know how I can get rid of this without permanently damaging anything on my screen or aluminum. It is completely hardened and I haven’t done anything besides pick out it with my fingernail for a little bit but obviously that did not help. does anyone have any advice of how to remove this safely without damaging the surface?

Issue with windshield and windows

I bought this car used a year ago and this has been an issue ever since. Does anyone know how to correct the problem? I cannot drive in the dark at night when it’s raining because I cannot see. I’ve tried invisible glass on the inside and outside, as recommended by the Napa workers but nothing makes a difference.

Is my clear coat fading?

It feels grainy but I can't tell if my clear coat is going or not, it's on the center of my roof behind my sunroof

New Pump - Bad Purchase?

I got this new pump from Eco worthy to attach from a 35 gallon water tank out to a Ryobi pressure washer. As you can see the pump outlet is quite small.

Should I look another one with proper size or can I just find an adapter? I’m concerned about insufficient water flow if I rig an adapter to it.

Thanks in advance! God bless

Dog pee smell still lingering--help!

Hi all, I took a shelter doggie out for a spin on Saturday (she got a little excited and peed on several of my car seats). I had the interior detailed yesterday, and it smelled great after as the seats were drying.

Today I sat in the car, and still smell some lingering urine odor. I messaged the detailers but havent gotten a reply. What should I do ? I paid $200 for it :(
