Perspex windscreens can be really hard to keep clean. They have to be cleaned with great care as they scratch and haze easily.

I am generally sceptical of expensive gunk in a can, but I was given a can of VuPlex to try and so took it with me round Botswana and tried it on my glider. The dusty and bug-filled conditions of Botswana were a real test of the product, as is the canopy of a glider whose steeply raked angle shows any imperfections.

To my surprise, I was really impressed, and so handed it around to others to try and they were equally impressed.

VuPlex claims it was designed for use within the aviation industry and delivers a fast, safe, and effective solution to plastic maintenance. Some cleaners use abrasives to remove dirt and scratches. This not only introduces more scratches to the surface but over time weakens the plastic through constant material removal. VuPlex says it works in reverse to this process by penetrating the dirt and grime in the surface and adding a fine layer of filling material that leaves the surface protected, adding a lustrous finish to clear and coloured plastics. It really does seem to make canopies gleam like new.

VuPlex says it is a preventative as much as a cure. If VuPlex is applied when plastic is new, it protects the surface from premature aging. If the surface is already damaged with fine scratches and in-ground grime, VuPlex will restore the surface and clarity, leaving a finish that is polished and protected.

This is one product which really works and I am happy to endorse it.
