I keep one of those silicone impregnated shoe polishing
sponges for use around the canopy frame. You can gnore any follow up postings about the perils of silicone for repairs. It is of no practical consequence when applied just around the canopy area. I have used this for years - including 2 years on a Duo - and there was no repair problem at all when a previous glider had its nose replaced right through the canopy rim area.
