Default Canopy cleaners

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.

I've been using Plexus for the last 15 years on every canopy I look through (my LS6, club gliders, towplanes) and it works great. No streaks, anti-static, takes off bugs, etc. Use a clean cotton t-shirt or clean microfiber cloth (if bugs are present).

Between applications, clean water will work too - key is to use a clean cotton t-shirt to wipe off the water, and fingers (gently!) to get rid of bugs, etc.

Environments include dusty desert and humid mid-west, summer and winter.

Expensive, but you get what you pay for if you use it correctly.
