These new microfiber towels are advertised as bing safe for plexiglass. Does
anyone have experience with them?

Yes, and they're terrific. No paper towels or tee-shirts, ever! (just
like wire hangars!) Be careful to launder them separately from your
other stuff, so the scratchy fibers from your jeans don't get stuck in
your m'fiber towels. They basically take the dirt and stuff from your
plex and pull it deeper into the towel, enabling you to clean the soft
plex with a clean cloth surface.
Every plexi cleaner professional or aircraft detailer I've spoken to has
been strongly emphatic on the need to use microfiber only on plex (water
and your non-ringed hand is a good initial cleaner, too).
best,

Don,
Have used microfiber cloth on plexiglas with no problems but be careful for
the sewing on the bound edges. Sometimes the sewing is a rather hard thread
and can scratch. Probably a polyester. Also, I use them only once, then wash
a load to remove trapped dirt particles.

Good point about the bound edges, Dale. I also clip the tags off the cloths as well.

If you have the option to buy the microfiber that looks closer in texture to
chamois rather than a loosely woven cloth, chose the tighter knit chamois
weave. I got that tip from one of the Oshkosh seminars last week on
Plexiglas. Larry in Indiana

Hello Jerry,
Here is a website for microfiber cloths from Griots Garage. But, as someone
else indicated, you can also purchase at auto parts stores/departments. Not
all are created equal. As I indicated, check the bound edges for finish.
Microfiber dish cloths can also be puchased from kitchen deparments. They
are usually smaller but I like the size for a single time use of cleaning
the w/screen. Then wash them and use again.

Are you enjoying the RV-4? How is the 8 coming along?
