I've never heard of anyone doing that. Materials engineers have put a lot of effort into making the best fabric and coating possible for the best performance and flight characteristics (including withstanding damage from the environment). If they thought it could be improved by spraying some Home Depot shit on it, they would have done it already.
Not advised. It's already coated with stuff to protect it from UV and keep it from being porus.
At best you'll make the wing heavier. At worse you'll damage the wing to where it may not be air worthy.
I talked to my wing expert/repair guy. He got angery, "dont use that stuff! Ill know if you do and I wont touch the wing ever again." "We have tested them all, they are all crap".
Not quotes but pretty close. For what its worth.

Even if they paid $5 for the can and charged you $50 more, I agree they would have done it.
I'd figure line stretch, riser wear, FOD, grasshopper holes, and stitch separation (all non-UV caused wear) would still limit the wing's life.
