rapper4mpi 0 #1 March 29, 2002 Some jumpers out there spray their gear with protectant before assembling it when they get it new. I've heard of Scotchguarding it, and also I've heard of people spraying their gear with UV protection. What do you all use, and/or recommend? Brands, methods, etc... Thank you.-Rap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChromeBoy 0 #2 March 29, 2002 In between repacks I wash my container in the tub, let it dry, scotchguard the hell out of the container let it dry for 24 hours. Then have it repacked. My container is mostly white and if I get anything on it it is very easy to clean because of the scotchguard.As far as the canopies, nothing. Just keep the rig and the canopies out of direct sunlight. I recommend a gear bag for when you have it in the car and for storing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

councilman24 37 #4 March 29, 2002 Relative Workshop used to recommend using a car wash power washer. Take every thing out/off, put it on a pallet or something else to keep it off the concrete, and be sure to pick a car wash that doesn't recycle their water (leaving dissolved salt etc in it). RW's current recommendation is here http://www.relativeworkshop.com/ie_index.html and it is what I generally recommend. There are several versions of Scotch Guard. Red can general use is what I've used in the past. 3M recommends two light coats. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
