^ More like 1/3 the price cause that's a 13oz can so comparable plexus is nearly $18. But is it just as good? The plexus seems really expensive but it does an outstanding job and lasts a long time. I would be thrilled to pay less for same but wouldn't really want to pay less for less in this case.

You can find Plexus for cheaper in auto or motorcycle shop. Or places like Tap Plastics.


An "Aviation" label or  part # <=> inflated prices

I've used lemon pledge in the past and it works good.  Recently I've been using a lemon pledge knock off product from the dollar store.  I like it better than lemon pledge.  To me it seem about the same as plexus.  You can't beat a buck per can.

Has anyone tried using car headlight cleaner on the windshield?  I just used some on the headlights for my jetta and they basically look brand new now... I was thinking about using it on a small corner of one of 91H's windows to see if it would clear up any imperfections (I've got a few marks here and there from my cover being whipped around in the wind from a few of my weekend trips... Prior to my Bruce's cover purchase:  word to the wise- with a cheap cover you get what you pay for).

We wash our aircraft cover in the front-loading washing machine every couple monthes when we are using it regularly.

I'd try a product like Micro Mesh first. It was developed specifically for polishing jet windshields to maintain optical clarity.  Great for repairing scratches and overspray also.
