Rick,

I think it's Rainx ... but ... caution, says not to use on plexiglass.

 That will not break down over time causing rainbows!!!  Becareful on a coating product...a number of these products have silicones in them that long term bring headaches.

A nice mélange of crushed black flies and mayflies works well . . .  :  )

True, Rain-X should not be used on plexiglass.  I believe there is a

product especially for plexiglass.  That's what I'm looking for.



Thank You

Are you thinking of RainAway?



AeroShell PlexiCoat works well, too.

I use Plexus on my 10. It is available at all aircraft supply houses and

Van's carries it as well.  Randy

Just beware that Pledge has a high amount of alcohol in it plus a good slug of water...it could cause your plexiglass to soften or haze...I know the Pledge trick has been used by a lot of owners but it may not be the best way to clean or keep the windscreen clean...sort of an old wives tale cure...you might contact SC Johnson--they have a phone number on each can--and ask them for their advise on using using Pledge on Plexiglass/planes to see if they've tested it long term.

Motorcycle stores and aircraft suppliers have spray plexi cleaners and polish that are readily available for your windscreens. Also, mcguires makes similar products available at auto body supply store and auto parts stores.

Guys, we have been  using Plexus on glider canopies here in South  Australia for years and they look as good as new and crystal clear all the  time.
