Cleaning agent for trike wing ??

I normally clean my trike wing by spraying it with a high presure washer, ie. clean water. However over time the wing has picked up a few spots of 'greasy' deposits (I flew into a swarm of termites which left oily spots on the wing.) which the presure washer cannot get off as I do not want to put too much water presure on one spot.

The question is what 'cleaning agents' are recommended that can I use to remove these spots (or other oil deposits) and get the colours bright again without damaging the fabric. (^^)

Thanks

you can lie the wing down and put sunlight liquid in a bucket of water and use a broom to dip in the bucket and brush the wing. On the greasy spots you can use a cloth/rag and thinners and rub the greasy area. this works like a bomb. I have cleaned hundreds of wings like this. I would not use a high pressure washer at all because it will damage and loosen the stitching. Also the broom you use must not be a steel broom.. :lol: just use a regular one. Hope this helps. jamie
