Waxing and polishing
Since winter is nearly ending and I'm doing final adjustments to my glider, I was wondering. Is it interesting to wax and polish it? I've seen a set of products he https://www.theaerodyne.com/gb/care-...ider-care.html

Waxing and polishing
I've used the Prist canopy cleaner and I don't like it. The Plexus product seems to be a better cleaner. I don't know about the other stuff.
My local composite shop mocks his dentist. "He does'nt really care, he's really glad to see you brush your teeth" |

"He does'nt really care, he's really glad to see you brush your teeth" I have had the exact opposite experience. Prist windo clearner works great, Plexus leaves a film and can't be cleaned off. |

I have had great luck with Plexus, I use either super clean or
brand new microfiber towels only for buffing it out. If canopy is really dirty clean with pure water first then use Plexus. I hate dirty canopy's. |

Would it be advised to do the entire glider or just wings/tail?

Senna have you heard about hard waxing? Using a rotary
buffing wheel and a block of hard wax to do the entire glider minus the canopy. Also good stuff is the 2 part WX Block and Seal available from wings and wheels. The Plexus is for the canopy only not the glider itself it looks like this thread drifted. |

I clean it up and then use Glare polish. https://www.glare.com/products?cid=Mg%3D%3D&pn=Aviation Keeps it protected, nice and shiny. Bob |

Waxing and polishing
I have not used any hard wax product for years on any of my vehicles (cars, planes, sailplanes etc).
I've been SUPER happy with JetShine from PERMANON. It's a bit expensive but takes almost ZERO effort to apply. The activating bonding ingredient is water and one just simply sprays it on a clean surface then wipes off the excess. It is "nano-technology" and protects the surface beautifully while protecting it from UV. After using this stuff for almost 10 years, I'd be hard pressed to ever go back to hard wax and buffing wheels! https://jetshineusa.com |

For example, keeping it in great condition, smooth and shiny? |
