Is there a washing station on your field? Ask the FBO. If it's like
ours, it's just a hose. Bring your own bucket, soap, etc. I know what
you mean about the dirt. It's amazing. I was using a kennon cover made
out of sunbrella. That thing really showed the dirt. I would still
recommend a quality cover. It really protects the plexiglass.

One other thing, clean your windows or at least your windshield after
every flight. Some recommend pledge. I use Meguires plexi cleaner with
a flannel cloth. Always move the cloth vertically up and down the
windshield. Never in circles. It just seems like those little bugs are
easier to clean after landing than a couple of days later.

Isn't great having your own plane? I've flown more in the past year that
I thought I would and I plan to fly more this year. I was planning on
going out today but 40MPH gust are beyond my comfort level.

Dave,

Thanks for the info. I'll check and see if there is a washing station.
I've been using Lemon Pledge on the windshield (but I've been going in
circles).
I'll be sure to go up and down from now on.

Owning IS great! I've been flying whenever I can.

Thanks again,
