dirty - so what is good for cleaning them ?

Thanks

I tried a brand of hand cleaning wipes in a plastic can - good for taking
off marks - but it left an oily smear - so I went with a
Maguier (sp?) product for the windows - they've been at it a long
while...

There are a couple of products for the specific purposes of encapsulating
and removing various sorts of dirt and grit from "painted" and plastic
surfaces. (I put paint in quotation marks because I have been assured that
most of the modern surface coatings on cars and aircraft are not truly paint
in the more traditional sense)

The products are certainly not cheap, but at least one of them is marketed
specifically for use on aircraft and was featured on one of the AVweb
communications.

In addition to the aircraft specific product above, I am also still on the
roster to sell a product called EcoSheen, which is market for similar use on
automibiles. As you can guess from my other posting, I really find it more
than a little irritating that nearly everything of this sort ends up
marketed as part of the "Green" phenominon; especially when there are more
than enough "real" reasons. For example, you can effectively wash and wax
your car inside the garage, or wash and wax your airplane inside the hangar,
even when the weather is less than ideal.

With the caution that, although the web page does list airplanes, I HAVE NOT
PERSONALLY TRIED THIS PRODUCT ON PLEXIGLASS OR ON ANY AIRCRAFT FINISH, the
product that I have available is called ECO-Sheen and the smallest practical
purchase size is called the ECO-Pack.

Before some of you get too outraged about a commercial message, remember
that this is an MLM product and I will not have met multiple criteria for
payment. However, to the best of my knowledge and belief, you can still
purchase directly through the web site at http://Lefty.MyFFi.biz/ and
navigate to the product by selecting the place and language as
UnitedStates/English, then ShopForProducts, ECO-Products, ECO-Sheen, press
the More button, and then select the ECO-Pack from the quantity drop-down
(because the default quantity would probably cover at lease one Boeing 747
and the ECO-Pack is the smallest quantity that includes the Pump-up
applicator jar).

For those of you who are curious, I got involved for the Fuel-Freedom
product line during a period of high fuel prices and before the current
"Green" wave; but found that too much of the interest in fuel efficiency,
that I could personally locate, came from the owners of small cars with
refill capacities too small to add the products efficiently in subjective
terms--and then the price of fuel dropped precipitously...
