With a British military motorcycle raincoat,
I finally resorted to "Fluid-Film", but after two years, it still smells like a wet sheep.

Re: winter windshield canvas care?
Back in the 60s there was a household cleaner that was pink in color and called Magic somethin .. then again in the 80s an actual salesman came by my rental shop selling it.. I bought a gallon, the label has worn off the container so I cant read it... but this shit works on expensive Mercede,s interiors to convertible tops !! a little goes a long way Im still working out of that gallon. it leaves things soft and supple with no residue .. wish he would come back by

Re: winter windshield canvas care?
I tried Mothers VLR last year. Haven't used the windshield since I did it, and its hanging in the bike barn. Looked great, but now its spotty and I need to clean it to see whats up. Possibly the Neatsfoot oil and lanolin in the Mothers attract mold? Maybe something synthetic might be better for long term storage. Armor All?
I'll see about cleaning it up this weekend and report back.
