    Anyone know how to clean Lexan Windows properly? I've got a new Pista, and am unsure as to proper care.

    The owners manual provides no guidance.

    Thanks,

    Ron

    Soap and hot water - no windex would be my recommendation. That's what I use on my F40

    Thanks...how about drying? I was considering using Plexus, which is used and designed for aircraft...supposedly won't scratch acrylic ( which I believe is softer than polycarbonate)

    As a commercial pilot... Plexus is a terrific product.
    Best to rinse of window with gentle stream or water if it has grit beforehand.
    Go with horizontal strokes using a high quality microfiber but not a waffle weave.

    +1. Always have used on my race car windshield and rear window with excellent results.

    Usually this kind of cleaning requires special tools, but I do not know exactly what, because my windows were cleaned by cleaners

    Yes, I know, but I always try to clean what I get dirty myself.
