Limitations of Lemon Pledge

Okay, so you've admitted that you were wrong about the Pledge, now why
should be believe that Castrol Super Clean would not be as harmful as
Simple Green.

Sorry, all you Jay fans!

Actually, that's the point of my post.

Does any cleaner work as well, without harming aluminum?

Without question the best stuff I've found for cleaning airplanes is
Tomar TR-1000. It is designed to be safe for aluminum airplanes,
unlike the cleaning products you'll find in your local discount store.
It is extremely effective when diluted and used as directed.

Got an URL for these folks?

All I find in a search are dead and foreign language links.

I guess all the highest priced "airplane" stuff, but I sure would like
to find the real deal. I'm trying that Castol stuff today!!!

Wear rubber gloves. That stuff will suck all the oil out of your hands...

Aviation Consumer did a report on cleaners and recommended TR-1000.
If you like I can send you the article, it's rather long.

I'm also told that you might find it in a detail shop, or a truck stop
with a truck wash.

Aaron,

I have been using Plexus window cleaner on the windows. It also works
quite well.


We use that, too, but I've read and been told numerous times that
Plexus is just the aviation-priced version of Lemon Pledge. No
difference at all, it seems.

But thanks -- I'll ask around town for it.

It won't work for anyone, that domain does not exist.

Interestingly enough, the couple of references I found for Tomar on
google refer to that domain, so it must've been valid at some point.

Aha, you caught me in a mistake. I actually use a cleaner made by "Prist"
for lexan windows. I tried the Plexus but I wasn't happy with it, for the
same reasons that I didn't like pledge: it seems to leave a slight sticky
film. The "Prist" does not leave such a film.

I don't know exactly what part number the "Prist" cleaner is. It is not
the de-icing additive used in jet fuel that is also marketed by "Prist"!

As many of you know, I am a big proponent of using Lemon Pledge to clean an
airplane. It can be used on the Plexiglas safely, and if you spray the
leading edges of the wings with it after each flight, the bugs just swish
right off with little effort.


I wash my plane with a regular car shampoo.
Windshield gets lemon pledge plus an occasional scratch remover
treatment.
Leading edge & spars get a spray and wipe with Turtle (Turtle Wax) bug
remover. Works great for getting rid of bugs, and also works well for
wiping off oil streaks.
