What about Pledge?

Pledge has solvents in it that promote crazing.

Don't use it.

May need to specify which Pledge product. A few years ago a version
of Pledge, claimed to be formulated for transparent plastics, was
marketed. I used it for a while and then it became unavailable.

How you prep the canopy may depend on the conditions you operate in.
Arizona is very dusty and keeping the canopy static free is
important. I now use Plexus inside and out before almost every flight
(after removing any dust, grit and gravel).

Sorry, IIRC this was aerosol lemon-freshened Pledge.
The canopy destruction incident was circa 1985.
Who knows if the formulation is the same these days.
I prefer not to find out the hard way...
