I was talking to a fellow pilot last night about cleaning plexiglass and he
suggested using something called Mirror Glaze as a way to get out minor
scratchiing and crazing (or just for a good cleaning). Up to this point I
have only used Plexus or similar products to do our windows.

Has anyone used Mirror Glaze and what were your results. It looks like
there is both a cleaner # M1708 and polisher # M1008. I assume you
would use the cleaner and then the polisher. I cound it online for .0590
AMU for a 8 ounce bottle.... Not bad for things aviation related... What
say you?

I have been using Plexus on my canopy for 5 years and the canopy developed a
layer of haze during that period. The Plexus wouldn't take it off.

I went by the local Harley Davidson dealership last week and picked up their
#2 cleaner/polish (mildly abrasive) and their regular cleaner. These
products are designed for the plexiglass windscreens on the bikes. In my
case, the cleaner/polish completely removed the haze and the cleaner left
the Plexi sparkling clean.

The "Harley" products are cheaper than aviation products and did a great
job. In addition, I don't have to mail order 'em.

It is very possible that these products are repackaged Mirror Glaze, but
then again, maybe not.
