Bleach works best for mildew but will it harm the paint?

I park my 4Runner in the shade so the mildew buildup behind the gas door. What would be good to clean mildew without damaging the paint. I believe anything bleach-based may harm the paint. What's the alternative?

I could be wrong but that may mean it doesn't fire. Should at least ask an mechanic or someone here may be able to confirm what I said.

If you replaced with regular copper plugs, what is the gap?

I'm over 100k too. What's the original plugs, regular, Iridium, or platinum. Since they last this long, I don't think they're regular.

I asked the service guys at the dealer for a quote to replace the timing belt. He told me I don't need to because it has timing chain. This is a 2007 SR5 v6. Is that right?

Nope, file rename didn't work. I didn't put the usb/3.5mm on the button. I put it inside the storage area where the 120v and the existing 3.5mm were. I had to take it all apart to drill the hole and make sure room for it behind. For F4injected, it was the one w/o JBL.
