Thanks! Just ordered a can of Plexus. Previously we used Lemon Pledge on our C-172. Seemed to work well, and repelled water.

Default +1 for Brillianize

+1 for Brillianize. I have used it for decades on my sailplane's canopies and for my two RV-8's canopies. It does not leave a waxy residue and its anti-static formula does not attract dust. I've used other cleaners over the years but keep coming back to Brillianize. Good stuff!
