I have always used pledge

Pledge, but only Lemon Pledge.

x3 for Lemon Pledge.

a friend of mine that hauls the Geico Race Car says he is going to hook me up with a new lexan cleaning product,..I will post the results after I use it awhile once I get it :)

Lemon Pledge, or Meguir's especially if it needs a touch of polishing out (I used for acrylic, haven't tried on polycarbonate - great but $$ and don't let it freeze).

Costco ammonia free window cleaner.

I use plexall, works great and is priced right. That will sell direct if no one sells it close to you.

White vinegar mixed with water 50/50 in a spray bottle, works great.

I've tried everything under the sun and once I found Plexus I knew I had finally found what I was looking for. It's not too cheap compared to other products but I haven't found anything yet that touches it. Prist would be a close second, but after using Plexus I wouldn't go back. The lemon pledge leaves a nasty greasy residue and some people have claimed it yellows plastic after a while.

I love the novus cleaner, no1 . last a good long time. plexus runs out real fast

I have only done a quick scan of the article, but Aviation Consumer's May issue has a comparison. They like Plexi-Clear, All Kleer and 210 Plastic Cleaner & Polish. They did not test Plexus, but I have been very pleased with it on my motorcycle helmet and windscreen since getting a can at Sun-n-Fun years ago.

A former Air Force jet mechanic and A&P IA here at Ryan Field Tucson, AZ recommended Honda Plastic cleaner and polish years ago (available at a Honda Dealer). I used it on my Citabria when I had it and now on my Kitfox Speedster. You would think you had no windshield in front of you. Use microfiber rags from Pep Boys, Auto Zone etc., excellent results.:cool::cool:

Good info guys. I used Plexus for years until they doubled the price overnight. May pick up some Novus and Honda cleaner and give them a try.

[Grant4ever]

Another vote for Plexus. That stuff is amazing. I use it on my Pitts canopy as well as the huge canopy on my DG303.

A mix of hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol and water to remove bugs and dirt from the windshield. Guys that ride motorcycles use this trick to get the bugs off the windscreens and plastic fairings. The bugs just slid off afterwards. Also my local FBO uses "helicopter polish" it has a waxy layer after its put on but drys clear and lasts a while. I get a free windscreen cleaning while they put gas in the plane. well free is not the best word because they do charge 15 cents extra for full service, being the truck comes to me, air oil etc.

I have use Aero Cosmetics (Wash Wax All) for 25 Years. You can clean your entire A/C with this product. It works GREAT on Acrylics and Polycarbonates. http://washwax.com/product.php?productid=17711&cat=272&page=1 :)
