My slight apologies, I have just been out to look at the bottle and the
product we actually use is:-

Original Mr Sheen multi surface polish.  I am sure Pledge multi surface 
will
be pretty well identical.

What Johnson=B4s Pledge brand name you use?

Maybe Multi Surface Cleaner?

Quite many of you have reported for Pledge.

We have used Pledge on our classic Europa windshields for 13 years now.
Excellent cleaning poroperties and has shown no apparent deleterious
effects.  It is also very easy to use.
The Gliding club  on our airfield has also used Pledge on canopies for
years.

When I was learning to fly, the Traumahawks windshields were polished 
with
Pledge at least once a day!  Didn't seem to make any difference to the 
view!
2 0Yet to try it on a Europa!


Cheers

In the motorcycle world, I have heard of spray-on Lemon Pledge being 
used on
Plexiglas windshields. It is not for cleaning or repairing scratches, 
but
might provide a slick surface barrier (on an already clean windshield) 
to
protect against them. It should also allow the 2 0bugs to come off 
easily,
or stick less to begin with.

It is not supposed to go yellow either, like Rain-X is supposed to do to 
it,
over time. It has the added benefit of allowing the water to slip right 
off.
Granted, I have never used it on aircraft, but maybe someone has?

I figure aircraft Plexi is similar to motorcycle Plexi, though.

I have a problem - I cannot find any safe way to clean the&n b sp;wind
shield.

As you all know it gets very easily hair scratches.

With those scrathes it is not fun to fly against sun - I do n ot wanna 
have
them any more!

Have seen nightmares "hey I am going to replace Europa=B4s windshield".

I have tried to rinse it with plenty of warm water and cleaning 
detergents
but that is not enough.

I am not brave enough to wipe it clean or touch it at all. < /font>


Insects are the main problem - as Bob and Ivor well know sometimes 
during
summer here in Scandinavia exists two or even more little insects (they
claimed mosquitos).


How do you do the job?
