Canopy/windscreen cleaner?

Postby mike.smith » Sun May 25, 2014 7:18 pm

What is a good cleaner for the Sonex canopy and windscreen? How about the cloth to use to apply it?

I personally use Prist windscreen cleaner and microfiber towels. As an added bonus it works well cleaning off polished parts of the airframe.

We used this at my old glider club on the Pawnee. I liked it.

Edit: I would smear it on, rub the bugs off, the. Let it dry. Then I would polish off the residue.
