Hey Djdojo, I did do a comparizon test. If you have a look at the last post - only the left side, from back, was treated. The right side was left untreated and it looked not so new, a little sun beaten. As I am now happy with it I have treated the whole cover as I the purpose was protection for the lot

.
As the season is about to kick in properly I will not treat my kites, they don't need it yet. I will wait until the end of the season if I have to stop kiting for a while.. doubt it

I'm about to move to warmer areas so its unlikely I need to worry for a bit. But if you want your kite to look swish to sell kitelife is the ticket eheh.
Cheers
