Hi all,

After a year of heavy use, including multiple applications of that nasty
orange deicing fluid, my Diamond Start is dirty is hell. Technically it is
not even white anymore. I want to give it a wash for the first time, but I
want to do it properly.

I think that you have already gotten some pretty good advice right here,
but you could always go to rec.aviation.soaring and ask the folks who have been
nursing the finishes on fiberglass aircraft for decades now.
