Default Canopy Care

What about Pledge?

Pledge has solvents in it that promote crazing.

Don't use it.

I had a flat-wrap canopy literally explode when
someone tried to clean it with Pledge. Quite
spectacular: stress cracks started after a
few weconds, gradually became very visible,
then BANG - pieces of canopy everywhere.
I still have some crazed fragments of that
canopy here as a souvenir..

Do not use this, despite what your local
"experts" may promote.
Use a product designed for plexi...

Hope this helps,
Best Regards, Dave
