411264 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I also hire my plane, but the flying school that I hire from swear by Mr Sheen. I know it sounds odd, has 2 properties that work. 1 moisture in the cloth gets off bugs from outside, inside it is a little like the expensive glass polishing products you can buy and cleans and prevents fogging up.

djpacro Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Plexus or vuplex plastic cleaners. I prefer vuplex from Bunnings. Certainly don’t use glass cleaners as they are too abrasive. I used to use Mr Sheen on fabric dope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunder Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 7 years with Plexus and no problems every time before I fly. One cloth to initally wipe and another to finish. Don't use dirty cloth. The dirt will scratch. Ocassionally use Plastx which is a cream type cleaner if a thorough clean is required, especially with water marks. Used probably once a year.... NOTE. NEVER CLEAN IN CIRCLES. UP/DOWN AND SIDE TO SIDE ONLY. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
440032 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Years ago I heard a tale about a guy who had Mr Sheen'd his Cessna - the whole thing. Looks fabulous. It got so charged with static electricity it played havoc with all the avionics. Plane had to be deguassed (demagnetised). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueadventures Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I get the no.1 and no.2 cleaner from Consolidated plastics in Hamilton Street. Off Harbour road where BP Moss is. I use the No. 1 product all the time after flights. When back yesterday for example cleaned screen with no 1 and then put on the cover. Bit of a glider thing cleaning the canopy before and after days flying. I recon that as well as cleaning it leaves a thin layer of protection to the screen surface.
