201AV8 Posted December 2, 2012 Report Posted December 2, 2012 Pledge, applied with a microfiber towel Quote
DrBill Posted December 2, 2012 Report Posted December 2, 2012 I too use Plexus and microfiber towels. I spray on the Plexus liberly, and rub into the window with my bare- non-ringed hand to loosen all the bug stuff. Then towel in straight lines up/down. I use the towel ONLY for the windscreen and wash every 5-6 cleanings. When the gas is out of the can, and alot of lfuid is still left, I poke a hole in the top and shake out what I need untill the can is used up. A while ago, Shell was offering a free towell with fillup. Apparantly no one wanted them since you had to go in and ask, so when I did, the guy gave me a case. BILL Quote
Stefanovm Posted December 2, 2012 Report Posted December 2, 2012 Second me for Prist. I have used other products, but like it best. If lots of dust or dirt lots of straight clean water first, let dry then Prist to leave a good finish. Quote
laytonl Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 I can't seem to find non-lemon flavored Pledge. Where do you guys find it? Is Lemon Pledge okay? Lee Quote
Hector Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 I use Plexus too, but I have used Pledge before and quite frankly it does just as well as Plexus. A friend who rides motorcycles turn me on to Pledge. I have not taken the time to compare the active ingredients but they perform equally well. I guess the motorcycle guys learned that trick long ago. Quote
laytonl Posted December 4, 2012 Report Posted December 4, 2012 Guys, I thought I'd already asked this, but didn't see my post. All I can find in the stores is lemon pledge. Where do you find non-lemon pledge? Any issues with lemon Pledge? Lee Quote
dougmilam Posted December 4, 2012 Report Posted December 4, 2012 Plexus and Sontara wipes. Plexus seems to leave less residue than clearview. Quote
TonyPynes Posted December 4, 2012 Report Posted December 4, 2012 I just learned about Klasse All in One......Check it out. Quote
Carl S Posted December 4, 2012 Report Posted December 4, 2012 Lemon Pledge is fine. Use it on my Long EZ and my Mooney. I bought a can of Kroger brand this weekend, it is even cheaper than Pledge and when you look at the can, guess what? Made by Johnston, same as Pledge. Quote
WardHolbrook Posted December 11, 2012 Report Posted December 11, 2012 I clean my windshield whenever it needs it. I only use pure pharmaceutical grade dihydrogen monoxide and a clean microfiber cloth, use anything else and you run a risk of damage. Quote
Marauder Posted December 11, 2012 Report Posted December 11, 2012 I clean my windshield whenever it needs it. I only use pure pharmaceutical grade dihydrogen monoxide and a clean microfiber cloth, anything and you run a risk of damage. Ah, good old H2O, what would we do without it? Just in case those who didn't catch this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydrogen_monoxide_hoax Quote
Wildhorsesracing Posted December 13, 2012 Report Posted December 13, 2012 I just learned about Klasse All in One......Check it out. +1 - works very well and cleans the scratches as well. Quote
DaV8or Posted December 13, 2012 Report Posted December 13, 2012 I use Plexus. There are arguments against Pledge out there, but I'm not sure I 100% believe them. The rental fleet I used to rent from used Pledge exclusively and I never saw any ill effects. However, now that I'm paying for the windows, I have decided to error on the conservative side because while Plexus costs about twice as much, the can lasts a long, long time for me. The cost savings is minimal over time. Still haven't used up the original can I bought when I bought the plane. I guess a hangar helps too. Quote
jetdriven Posted December 13, 2012 Report Posted December 13, 2012 Plexus is $20 a can, while Prist is $6.50. It even smells the same. Quote
carusoam Posted December 14, 2012 Report Posted December 14, 2012 Hydrogen hydroxide as well������ smiley face! And a can of Prist (windshield cleaner not fuel additive?) -a- Quote
