Default Plexiglass cleaner?

What is the preferred product for cleaning the rear window on a 63 Hardtop w/ original plexi?

Stop by your local airport's FBO and get a product called "Prist". Works great. All small airplane windows use plexglass too.

Meguiar's has a 2-step process made just for plexiglass and convertible back windows (can't remember the numbers, but it's on their site), and you may also find a "Novus" product at your local airport made specifically for aircraft plexi windows.

I have been using Novus products for years and I highly recommend it. Try your local plexiglass retailer, they probably sell it it. If not, you can buy it online.

I have been using AeroshellFlight Jacket cleaner on my planes windows for years.It actually helps polish and clean at the same time.Aircraftspruce has it online.In the search window put areoshell polish or the part number is 09-00392.Also pledge will work to clean off bugs too.

Default Plexiglass cleaner

I recommend Plexus. It will remove minor scratches and reduce any haze. It's also anti static. I use it on the headlight covers on my C6 and I've used it on the rear window of my conv. C-2. It will even make tail light lenses look better. I buy it at the local Harley dealer (where I work) but it's not an H-D product. It's in a spray can, is perfectly clear, and can even be used on paint. It will leave the surface slippery like it was waxed. Highly recommended! Paul

Ty calling Tripp Plastics in Reno / Sparks, NV they sell a product for cleaning plexiglass that is killer! Used it on drawing drums and sneeze guards. If used properly, no scratches.

I agree. It can be found on E-Bay at reasonable price.
