Cleaning windows
We will be renting an Archer for the week to tour the state and take some
aerial photos - as it is a rental all the windows are probably going to be dirty - so what is good for cleaning them ? Thanks V. |

Thanks V. No paper towels. I used Aero Cosmetics Wash and Wax All. Came in a blue bottle. I used diapers and yes they were washed and cleaned. The more you use it the better it works. Also works on wing leading edges. -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180HP Sold KSWI |

Thanks V. Pledge Wipes I tried a brand of hand cleaning wipes in a plastic can - good for taking off marks - but it left an oily smear - so I went with a Maguier (sp?) product for the windows - they've been at it a long while...

You're joking, right? What happened to this world that people don't take water for cleaning anymore? Cheap, available and doesn't scratch nor embrittle those plastic windows. |

Interesting common sense response. I could carry water in - and a sponge and soap and napkins - but it is not that good with fly squash, and it is handier to take something a little more compact and convenient.... Brian W |

Mix up some soapy water, and put it into a Windex spray bottle. Spray it on, and use a flannell cloth to rub it with, then take a spray bottle with water, and use another flannel cloth to rinse and dry it off, and you have the reccomended cleaning solution in a portable application. -- Jim in NC |

Neat! Has anyone used something like a Windex spray at altitude? Those bottles must have some kind of venting so that the interior pressure follows ambient pressure. Any container containing air and water, especially hot water, sealed at ground level will provide an adventure in fluid dynamics if suddenly opened at 10,000 feet. |

People live in places like Leadville, CO, which is at 10,000 feet. They buy everything from Windex to soft drinks and hair spray in pressurized cans at their local grocery store. No big deal, but occasionally the cans to bulge out from the pressure, and the spray is certainly more powerful. Plus, you tend to open soft drink bottles and cans in a way that any spray won't get all over you. There is no venting. |

I have used Plexus Plastic Cleaner and a soft cloth for years and am
satisfied with the result. After rinsing the windscreen with water and my hand (if necessary), I use vertical strokes to rub on and then buff off the Plexus. |
