cleaning my canopies????

[FREIND OF AA AND TA]

I have heard many different ideas. What really works the best. Some of my nameless friends say one thing and I don't believe them because of theirs.
What do I clean them with and where can I get it before the dam run?

[Charley]

PLEXUS plastic / plexiglass cleaner-polish. Excellent for airplanes (kinda important to be able to see). Just used it on my Sleek windshield and it made it look new again. Blue and black can. Our local marine place had it. If you can't find it and want to get some, www.sportys.com in the airplane/pilot area.

I'm leaving thurs am to grt the boat in Havi and then to Mohave at night. I hope to launch before dark.
As far as the other we better use mine because yours is so old I think the clumps will scratch.

I hear they are pretty cool. I'll have to get used to 95 first and then consider $16,000 to go 120 :eek:

[plaster dave]

Ya ya I was so tired. Oh Justine says BOO!

[BADAXE]

Meguires Plastic Polish and Plastic Cleaner.
Can usually find it at most motorcycle stores. it's always been the best thing to use for motorcycle windscreens and helmet face shields.

[WetWillie]

I will have mine you bring the drinks!
Thanks guys!!! Awsome!

Times have changed since you owned a boat way back when............ j/k. :hammer2:

[andy01]

Should I be using something other then just water to clean my windshield deal?
Andy

[Dave C]

I use the Meguiers plastic cleaner also.
Do NOT wipe it off with a towel!
BTW, Nice boat, Fiend(sic) of AA & TA. :D

Yes. Plexi or any plastic tends to "dry out". Any of the polishes have the chemicals needed to keep them clear. Just don't use windex type cleaners or they will get hazy. I really like the PLEXUS. Aerosol can, just spray on and it loosens bugs and such. Wipe and then buff with the clean side of the towel and the scratches disappear. Bugs won't stick near as hard, either. Excellent stuff.

Thank you I will look for some Plexus, and it won't harm my clear coat right?

Nope. Harmless. I got a little overspray on mine, and it just wipes off the same way. Also get it on the paint around the windshields of the plane, and it doesn't hurt a thing. Believe me, I have tried a lot of cleaner/polishes and this stuff is my favorite. You won't be dissapointed.

[FREIND OF AA AND TA]

What kinda rag do you use?

[the_gray_goose]

What kinda rag do you use?
A diaper or an old all cotton T shirt. but don't wash it in detergent. just run it thru the washer with hot water.

[the_gray_goose]

Also make sure you rince the canopy off good with water. any dust on it when you clean it will scratch it.

I did not think you were old enough to wear diapers! But thanks for the tip.

This shit is the bomb, its the same thing that the airforce use to clean their canopies
Novus Plastic Polishes (http://www.noscratch.com/novus/uses.shtml)

[Beer-30]

I use a soft cotton towel. Just don't use paper towels! They are made of wood and will scratch. I know what I am talking about, my sister is an Optometrist and knows that plastics (eyeglass lenses) don't like wood!
Personally, I thought the Plexus was easier to use than the Novus and I also get a better shine. This may just be the way I use it, I am sure Novus is just as good a product. Either one will get you protected.

[FREIND OF AA AND TA]

I just bought plexus at the moto shop and will try it this week-end, and try the novus stuff later. Thanks for all your help.

That is it right there, Nothing else.....

[Propster]

To remove the bugs, the manufacturer of my plexaglass motorcycle windsheild says to lay a wet towel over the windshield and hose them off when they are good and soft.

[Bling Bling]

What kinda rag do you use?
Not the one your on every 30 days. :D

[the_gray_goose]

[Reaper1]

[FREIND OF AA AND TA]

Thanks, I just heard the drives need some work that the seller is willing to pay for but may not be done in time. Oh well the Baja is totaly done and will work just fine at Mohave too. Just sucks to wait for new crap! This is probably the last post. We are leaving at 8 am Thurs. C-ya all thurs night at KL and cross fingers for me to be in the new boat. Drive safe and get ready to turn it up a notch!!!

[alfonzo]
