Sun damged tubes

[iainmartins]

Does anyone have any tips to prevent the sun fading the tubes?

[codprawn]

A cover is the best way - failing that many people swear by Klear floor polish or similar - about to try it myself!!!

isnt there a branded UV protector available? -I'm sure that when I bought rib cleaner I also got a spray gun with a liquid for sun protection too...not much use to you in Scotland, but Ron Hale in Portsmouth stock it although I dont think it's this product thats listed on the store...

303 Aerospace UV inhibitor seems to work pretty well. If you can get it.

yes 303 is tops. I just ordered a case of it from a spa supplier in Newcastle area - found it via google - & the cost was 7.8 GBP per 16 oz spray.

Since then I have done my car, scooter & boat with fabulous effect, the water just beads off. Leaves your hands shiny too!

I can search out the link - they charge 5 GBP for postage so I got a case, on my second one already after only a month.

Thanks to everyone posting here, I got the 303 idea, lifejackets, servicing tips all from here. Just been out on the boat today for the first time & well pleased.

Cheers

Case or bottle?

Hi, this is where I bought the box, it was 7.95 GBP per 16 oz spray plus 5 GBP postage for the box of 12. Sorry, I used 1x 16oz spray to do my car, boat, scoot & pool stuff. It is very good & they delivered in 2 days or so.

303 is excellent but you have to be careful not to use it too much as it makes it really hard if you have to do any tube work. It absorbs into the hypalon and makes it harder for the glue to adhere.
