Any recommendations for products to clean plexiglass (acrylics)? I couple I see out there are Plexus Plastic Clear and Clear View (cleaner and polish).

Any other feedback?

Plan to use it both on my Kitfox and my wifes 150. She recently picked it up used (1971) and the windshield is like new (not a scratch or blemish to be seen) and I hope to keep it that way.

I use Plexus mostly even though it is a bit pricey. Better than most spray cleaners. Many will say lemon Pledge is their choice.

I use "Eyes Outside" by Plane Perfect, they actually have a bunch of nice cleaning products. If you use coupon code "WANDER15" you'll get 10% off and free shipping :D

I also use their wing wipe for getting bugs off and their eco wash for wiping down the rest of the plane.

I used to use Pledge Multi Surface spray which worked pretty well also.

I use Meguir's now and then to polish it up (very fine abrasive maybe once a year). Normal maintenance of the windows , wing leading edges, front of the struts & all is with Lemon Pledge.

Thanks Trent. Just order a Plane Perfect starter kit and will see how it goes.

Been using Pledge furniture polish on aircraft "glass" for 30 years. Never a complaint.

It may be my imagination but LP Aeroplastics 210 cleaner seems less oily than Plexus. I have no idea about any cost comparison but I like it.

Just tried the Plane Perfect. Love the stuff (so far). Seems like a nice product. Very happy with the results.
