VuPlex comes off the same production line as Plexus, but is available in the cafe blinds section at Home Depot for $5 per can, instead of in a specialist aviation shop for $20 per can.

I use Plexus and don't have to go to anyplace all that special to find it. My local motorsports has it, apparently it is wonderful on motorcycle helmets.

Default Cleaner

I have a vote for Flight Jacket by Aero Shell. It’s liquid with a very fine polish.
Does a great job cleaning and polishing. I also use Plexus for a quick clean.

Default Canopy cleaner

I had left electric tape on the outside for two years while sanding snd Plexus removed the sticky residue easily.

Default Pledge

All the replies seem good. I often use Pledge. My wife says I smell better after...
Not that any water falls from the sky where I am now, when I flew daily in Ketchikan... we used Pledge. Even the mechanic approved.

Yes...we used Pledge (Lemon) on my C-172 for years with great results.

I've used Plexus for a hundred years on motorcycle helmets/windshields and airplanes, no plans to switch now.

Plexus can be purchased at most motorcycle shops...

Use it with a clean cotton T shirt to apply and buff.
but clean the canopy first with clear water and a terry cloth. Rinse often.
