Hi Troy,

It may not be black this year if they burn the grass a bit earlier?? 
Anyway, I will be surprised if you do not find heavy dew each morning. I 
use a water blade squeegee, see typical example at 
http://www.autogeek.net/california-water-blade.html and then towel it 
dry. If you want to minimise scratches on the plexiglass, you can always 
rinse with water first. However, I use a cockpit cover which keeps the 
glass clean. Bruce makes nice covers and I have the plain cockpit 
version - good quality.

I will probably go down to SNF a little early as I will be returning on 
the Friday.

Cheers, John

Hi All,
I'm getting ready for Sun N Fun. One of the things I wondered about is
what do folks take along to get the black Florida dust off the plane so
it can look its best. One needs to avoid scratching the windscreen and
the paint. Is it just a matter of getting water to it in a jug or is
there a preferred commercial cleaner that can be sprayed? ACS has so
many options it is mind boggling. Any wisdom from those who've done it?
I know this won't be my only question about the trip.
Troy
