The best house hold product in Australia is "Mr Sheen" in the red can, the standard base product line. (Not the yellow can which smells like lemon)
This has been used for 10s of years on gliders, crop duster and other aircraft that I know of. When cleaning always rub in a front to back line, never circular or accross the screen. If you have a bit of dirt on the screen or cloth then the resulting scratch is less likely to cause glare problems (horizontal scratches cause the worst glare) That's just my experiance :-) regards Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia RAA 19-3873 [email protected] http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/kr2.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: Phil Matheson I received the following from Yodd at Todd's Canopies. I'm sure he will not mind. I asked him for the best way to clean his canopy on my kr and his reply is listed below Phil Matheson, --------------------------------- I did not recieve your last email. Thankyou for emailing me again. I visited your interesting website. What do you clean the canopy with? May I start with what not to clean it with? Don't use any hosehold cleaners. They probably have chemicals that will attack the plastic. Use cleaners that are made for plastic. A lot of them not only clean, they polish the plastic and take all the static charge. I use Novus products. Novus #1 is a cleaner, polisher and anti static agent. Novus #2 is a rubbing compound for fine scratches. With a cottom cloth and this, one can make scratches that are not to deep, disappear. Novus #3 is a courser compound for deeper scratches. Use #3, then #2. If they don't have Novus products in Australia, I'm sure there are products there that do the same thing. Some rubbing compounds made for polishing cars do the same thing as Novus #2. You may want to experiment with these on a scrap piece of plastic. Thanks again for the business! Todd Silver www.toddscanopies.com ---------------------------------------------------
