I recently sold my mostly black Aurora and bought a mostly white Silver arrow.
I used to think black may be the toughest colour to keep looking fresh but am concerned about the SA's I have seen that yellowed . White is going to
be a challenge. I am impressed that Adrian kept it so clean.
Does anybody have any insight into why some Silver Arrows yellow? Any tips on keeping it clean ?

buy a second one that is black and fly that one. Otherwise I have no clue.

I am thinking that it is UV damage that yellows them ? If that is the case the kite will remain white around here !

If they get stained with mud or sand or whatever I clean my kites with wet-wipes. Works great.
But I think you are probably right that its UV that will yellow some white fabrics over time. Hopefully won't be too much of an issue just from normal
use, if you are not leaving it laid out on the beach for hours at a time.
I'm interested to see what my new Ozone looks like in a year or 2. Its REALLY white at the moment!

I would say you have two choices, one is to not fly the kite, the other is to get some white spray paint.
