I like the idea of this clear material from ACS. I'm curious if anyone has any experience with it- does it hold up well and maintain apperance, or does it become yellow or grimy from use and lose its attraction?
Are there any other suggestions than the standard black stuff from Van's that you have a good experience with?
Finishing up!!!

NON-SKID WING WALK TAPE
Our non-skid adhesive tape is excellent for wing walk applications. The white and clear is perfect for pilots wishing their step areas to blend in, not stand out. This tape meets all applicable Mil Specs and has superior adhesion qualities. Sold by lineal foot.

This patented slip-resistant material is an excellent alternative to black Wing Walk which has been used on aircraft for many years. This material is nearly clear (slightly opague) and has an adhesive backing that requires heat or 1500 lbs. of pull to remove it from the surface on which it is applied. Imagine how much better a newly painted aircraft can look with a clear material which does not alter the paint design. The material is impervious to chemicals, compounds, and water and will expand and contract with the metal or fabric. Surface roughness of the material is about the same as standard black Wing Walk. Furnished in 16" x 30" sheets.
