What Johnson=C2=B4s Pledge brand name you use?
Maybe Multi Surface Cleaner?

Quite many of you have reported for Pledge.

  We have used Pledge on our classic Europa windshields for 13 years 
now.  Excellent cleaning poroperties and has shown no apparent 
deleterious effects.  It is also very easy to use.
  The Gliding club  on our airfield has also used Pledge on canopies for 
years.

  When I was learning to fly, the Traumahawks windshields were polished 
with Pledge at least once a day!  Didn't seem to make any difference to 
the view!  2 0Yet to try it on a Europa!

  Cheers

    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 2 
0bugs 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&n b 
sp;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 n ot 
wanna have them any more!
      Have seen nightmares "hey I am going to replace Europa=C2=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?
