CLEANING AND CARE
WINDSHIELD-WINDOWS
The plastic windshield and windows should be cleaned with an aircraft windshield cleaner. Apply the
cleaner sparingly with soft cloths, and rub with moderate pressure until all dirt, oil scum and bug stains
are removed. Allow the cleaner to dry, then wipe it off with soft flannel cloths.
If a windshield cleaner is not available, the plastic can be cleaned with soft cloths moistened with
Stoddard solvent to remove oil and grease.
NOTE
Never use gasoline, benzine, alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, fire
extinguisher or anti-ice fluid, lacquer thinner or glass cleaner to clean
the plastic. These materials will attack the plastic and may cause it to
craze.
Follow by carefully washing with a mild detergent and plenty of water. Rinse thoroughly, then dry with
a clean moist chamois. Do not rub the plastic with a dry cloth since this builds up an electrostatic charge
which attracts dust. Waxing with a good commercial wax will finish the cleaning job. A thin, even coat
of wax, polished out by hand with clean soft flannel cloths, will fill in minor scratches and help prevent
further scratching.
Do not use a canvas cover on the windshield unless freezing rain or sleet is anticipated since the cover
may scratch the plastic surface.
