Our can of Plexus has nearly run out - I need to buy a replacement. It seems that the UK pilots shops no longer stock Plexus and offer 'Clear View' as a replacement.
Clear View considerably cheaper than Plexus, getting on for half the price, but is it as good?
Does anyone have any experience of Clear View and can compare it to Plexus?
Our canopy is in good condition and I'd like to keep it that way.
I use a product from Autoglym that is specially for perspex. It is not the blue slightly chalky one that is for Glass, but in the green writing squirty bottle.
One TB owner put Rain-X on his windows and they went dark.
Just one data point, but I would not use rain-x on any plastic window. It's pretty effective on glass though...
I use Plexus. It works well, gets the bugs off, and polishes out quickly and well.
The most important thing is to use a very clean cloth. If it has been dropped, it must go in the bin, or be used for wiping oil off things. It's very easy to scratch windows.
Pledge is really excellent if you want to have a total nightmare anytime you come to repaint your aircraft. Once you have contaminated the surface with silicon oils, it is all but impossible to remove them. Even minute silicon residues interfere with most paint systems something rotten.....
