I've been using pledge on plexi, painted fiberglass, painted metal, and dope & fabric finishes for decades. While I have heard about the terrors of silicone on the finish creating repair problems, it has never caused me a problem doing repairs on any of them. With my planes hangared, a good rub down with Lemon Pledge keeps a nice finish that beads up water for 1 - 2 years. All I do is rinse the plane and shammy it off every few months when it gets too dusty.

Yes, they make it easier to remove bugs and grime but they may make it difficult or impossible to make a fiberglass repair or repaint due to the silicones. Take a look at a product called "RejeX", a polymeric coating that goes on after the surfaces are clean and dry, instead of polish or wax. It does NOT contain silicones that cause so many problems with painting later on (such as Lemon Pledge, Armor All, etc. contain). Supposed to make it much easier to remove bugs and droppings and lasts a couple of months. http://www.rejex.com/rejex.html Oscar Zuniga Air Camper NX41CC San Antonio, TX mailto: taildr...@hotmail.com website at http://www.flysquirrel.net _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html ____________________________________________________________ You can take it with you!
