Transparent Plastic Cleaning
Clean outside surfaces of plastic panels by rinsing with clean water and rub
bing lightly with palm of hand.
Use mild soap and water solution or aircraft type plastic cleaner to remove
oil spots and similar residue.
Never attempt to dry plastic panels with cloth. To do so causes
any abrasive particles lying on plastic to scratch or dull surface.
Wiping with dry cloth also builds up an electrostatic charge that
attracts dust particles from air.
After dirt is removed from surface of plastic, rinse with clean water and let
air-dry.
Clean inside surfaces of plastic panels by using aircraft type plastic cleaner
and tissue quality paper wipers.
