Default Canopy cleaners

Jim,

I've used Plexus, Mequiars 18 (better), Plexo (like Plexus but 1/2 the price) and more recently I've been using Meguiars 205 polish.

Plexo worked as well as Plexus for me.

I always clean the canopy with water from a 1qt pump garden sprayer and dry it, then move on to one of the cleaner polishes to get it finalized and eliminate static. The costco microfibers work great, but sometimes with just water you can build up a charge strong enough to stun a small goat. And with the Avenal dust, it just glues to the canopy on takeoff like powder coating.

After running out of my favorite "Brillianize" (more on order) tried a handful of things that were on hand or otherwise locally available.
Had heard "Plexus" was highly thought of, but it left streaks.
None of the aerosol cleaners seemed very useful in the wind.
Meguiars "Mirror Glaze 18" worked well.
Any experience with "Novus 1"? Used their 2 and 3 for scratch removal.
