I've looked through the first 26 pages in general discussion and can't find anything on this subject.

2001 Dauntless 22 with red T-Top and bow dodger original red canvas Good shape but faded.

How can I make them look better.

Thanks.

We use 303 aerospace protectant on our fabric airplane wings, brings the color back too. http://303products.com/

Thanks dbcollen. But Stits and other aircraft coverings are a lot different than the stuff on my Whaler T-Top. For one thing they (Stits and the like) are heavily painted.

dbcollen: I went to the 303products.com. And your suggestion looks promising, especially the fabric cleaner stuff.

Thank you.

my plane wing is made of unpainted dacron sailcloth, it is a Trike, AKA weight shift control. It is a big hang glider type wing with a 2 seat pod with 83hp hanging below it
