In the motorcycle world, I have heard of spray-on Lemon Pledge being
used on
Plexiglas windshields. It is not for cleaning or repairing scratches,
but
might provide a slick surface barrier (on an already clean windshield)
to
protect against them. It should also allow the bugs to come off easily,
or
stick less to begin with.
It is not supposed to go yellow either, like Rain-X is supposed to do to
it,
over time. It has the added benefit of allowing the water to slip right
off.
Granted, I have never used it on aircraft, but maybe someone has?
I figure aircraft Plexi is similar to motorcycle Plexi, though.

I have a problem - I cannot find any safe way to clean the wind shield.
As you all know it gets very easily hair scratches.
With those scrathes it is not fun to fly against sun - I do not wanna
have
them any more!
Have seen nightmares "hey I am going to replace Europa=B4s windshield".
I have tried to rinse it with plenty of warm water and cleaning
detergents
but that is not enough.
I am not brave enough to wipe it clean or touch it at all.
Insects are the main problem - as Bob and Ivor well know sometimes
during
summer here in Scandinavia exists two or even more little insects (they
claimed mosquitos).
How do you do the job?
