Canopy Care

I agree with Bob... Pledge works well. I operate my Cessna 170 in a
dusty environment (construction dust and glacial silt) and have used
Pledge continuously nearly every weekend since 1997 on the same canopy
which still looks great.

I apply it after having throughly rinsed the canopy with lots of water
using only my fingertips to work off particles that do not wash off.
Lemon Pledge works great with never any of that dreaded yellow waxy
buildup. It's also popular with many commercial operators here.

What about Pledge?

Pledge has solvents in it that promote crazing...

I dunno, that sounds like urban legendry to me, but I'll believe it if
you can provide a cite.

I used Pledge on my HP-11 canopy for about a dozen years, and it
looked about the same before and after. Which is to say, far from
optically perfect but workmanlike and usable.


Thanks, Bob K.
