Oh how I loved those yellow fins all brand new! But that was a few years ago and now they have black spots on them. Looks like mold, but doesn't come off. They get rinsed after every dive. I tried soap and water, a magic eraser, and a few mild cleaners, but nothing.
Help!

Bleach would kill mildew, so would leaving in the sun, not sure it’s best for plastic fins, and would fade yellow. Sell and buy new pair?
 
Spray paint them.
 
It can look strange, but.... Have you tried WD40?
It has miracolous effects on various type of rubber and plastic. Just spray, wait 30 minutes, then clean away with a piece of cotton fabric, rubbing as required....
 
Plenty of advice, I'm looking forward to what worked.
 
Clean um? Hell wear them like a badge of honor!
