=0A We have used Pledge on our classic Europa windshields for 13 years now.=C2-
Excellent cleaning poroperties and has shown no apparent deleterious 
effects.=C2-
It is also very easy to use.=0AThe Gliding club=C2- on our airfield has also
used Pledge on canopies for years.=0A=0APete Jeffers=0A=0A=0A =0A=0A=0A

 world, I have heard of spray-on Lemon Pledge being used on Plexiglas =0A  
windshields. It is not for cleaning or repairing scratches, but might provide 
=0A  a slick surface barrier (on an already clean windshield) to protect 
against =0A  them. It should also allow the bugs to come off easily, or stick 
less to begin =0A  with.=0A=0A  =0AIt is not

 20supposed to =0A  go yellow either, like Rain-X is supposed to do to it, over
time. It has the =0A  added benefit of allowing the water to slip right off.
Granted, I have never =0A  used it on aircraft, but maybe someone has?=0A=0A 
=0AI figure aircraft =0A  Plexi is similar to motorcycle Plexi, though.=0A=0A
