AIRPLANE CLEANING AND CARE
WINDOWS AND WINDSHIELD
The plastic windshield and windows should be cleaned with an airplane
windshield cleaner. Apply the cleaner sparingly with soft cloths and rub with
moderate pressure until all dirt, oil scum and bug stains are removed. Allow
the cleaner to dry, then wipe it off with soft flannel cloths.
CAUTION
NEVER USE GASOLINE, BENZINE ALCOHOL, ACETONE, FIRE
EXTINGUISHER OR ANTI–ICE FLUID, LACQUER THINNER OR
GLASS CLEANER TO CLEAN THE PLASTIC. THESE MATERIALS
WILL ATTACK THE PLASTIC AND MAY CAUSE IT TO CRAZE
Follow by carefully washing with a mild detergent and plenty of water. Rinse
thoroughly, then dry with a clean moist chamois. Do not rub the plastic with a
dry cloth since this builds up an electrostatic charge which attracts dust.
Waxing with a good commercial wax will finish the cleaning job. A thin, even
coat of wax polished out by hand with clean soft flannel cloths will fill in minor
scratches and help prevent further scratching.
Do not use a canvas cover on the windshield unless freezing rain or sleet is
anticipated since the cover may scratch the plastic surface.
PAINTED SURFACES
Refer to Maintenance Manual for the procedures to follow.
