JovialChris 0 #1 June 21, 2004 Hey, just put my new rig up in the air yesterday. Any different ideas related to UV/Grime protection? Best way to keep the bright "new" look for years to come? JovialChris I'm Lost! Which way to the Prairie? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #3 June 22, 2004 I used 2 cans of Red top Scotchguard and seems to be working fairly well. Then again.. I have not biffed a landing in it since I got it.. the old rig... well I scotch guareded it and it was in fairly good shape till Lost Prairie last year.. when I rolled out a very fast landing.. under a canopy I probably should not have demoed at that density altitude.. but hey at least Aubrey and the other reps got a good chuckle out of the landing AFTER I stood up. I washed it after I came back .. and all of the grasshopper green gut juice came right out.. .. I had it spring cleaned by the Infinity guys and did not scotchguard it.. and now its kinda green again from the grass after trying out a few old canopys. I decided it was better to PLF than try to stand up as fast as they were coming down. I will Scotchguard it again when I do wash it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris 0 #4 June 22, 2004 ScotchGuard is the key. However, one can should last you a couple of years. The trick is light coats. Put on 2 or 3 light coats, allowing about an hour between each one, then let dry overnight. Heavier coats will just put a lot of residue on your rig.Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
