8.5 Cleaning and Care
After every flight, especially in warm climates, it is recommended to
clean the surface of the aircraft using pure water and a soft cotton
towel only. Take special care when cleaning the windows to use lots
of water to loosen and rinse away bugs and dirt and use with only a
soft cotton towel, or otherwise you will create scratches. If cleaned
regularly, you may not need to use any special cleaning products. If
for any reason special cleaning products need to be used, please
contact your dealer for advice. For polishing you can use almost any
car polish but be sure that no silicone is used in that product.
