Tailgating Tent question

[EMik21]

Hey all, wondering if somebody has some advice on a tailgating tent I just got today. It's a black & gold checkerboard tent and on the gold sections, I noticed some black marks/streaks/spotting on most all of the gold sections of the canopy. Is this normal being the canopy came folded up, and if so, is there a way to get rid of it/clean it? It's the 450 denier polyester and google wasn't much help.

Some spots are more noticeable than others and I emailed the manufacturer earlier but wanted to see if anyone on this forum could help or has experienced this?

Thank you!

Is it mold or mildew? If so use a 10-1 wAter bleach solution. Was it bought new or used. If new. I'd probably ask for a new one.

Yeah, it's not mold or mildew unfortunately as that should have come out. I bought it new and all secured in the box.

I tested a small spot and nothing happened, so I might try the bleach solution you suggests depending on what the manufacturer replies to me with.
Thanks!

From your last post it looks like you already know this, but I wouldn't do anything with it until the manufacturer replies.
