What to clean dodger windows???

Post by D. Stump, Hanalei »

Would appreciate any suggestions of what to use to clean dodger windows. The dodger on Hanalei is in real good shape, not scratched, but I just want to clean the windows and restore the suppleness to the plastic. Is there any recommended product out there?

Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Clear Plastic Cleaner #17 followed by Clear Plastic Polish #10.

This stuff is great. I use it on the Bomar hatches as well as the dodger windows.

Hi Dave...

I have used a good quality non abrasive car wax on both inside and out of the dodger windows. Works great. Removes dirt and leaves them clear and scratch free. Its also very cheap. Works well on the port windows and hatches.

Dave, I use a chamois to clean and wipe down my stratoglass dodger windows. I hose them off first (city/airport grit and grime) mild detergent then final wipe down with the chamois.
Paper towels will eventually do damage to surface of vinyl UV protectant and such. Real fog is bad enough.
The outfit that made my dodger reccommended a product from the stratoglass folks, aquamarine located in one of the carolinas
