matt_k Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I always see on ebay Fabric Guard, UV and Cleaners in the paramotor section, are they any good for wings when wiping them over or are they just a blag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquatix Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 There was a long thread about these on PG forum. The consensus was the 303 aerospace protectant worked well on older wings and significantly improved porosity readings, BUT nobody wanted to try it on newer wings in case it invalidated the manufacturers warranty. My personal view is that if you were going to use 303 you should apply it to a brand new wing, to protect against UV and stains from day one. It has to be applied regularly though, and most people trade in their wing well before reaching the 300+ hour lifespan that most wings are easily capable of reaching, so is it worth the bother ? Maybe for a school wing that is out in the sun for a lot longer, and being dragged around more. As for cleaners, the manufacturers all insist that nothing is used on the fabric except clean, fresh water and a soft sponge, so is anything else worth the risk ?

paramotormike Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Also try some Prop Wash on the wing! That works well! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
