8.7.2. CLEANING INTERIOR SURFACES
Windshield and Windows
Never rub dry lexan. Do not attempt to polish lexan.
CAUTION:
Clean lexan windows with a solvent free, none abrasive, anti-
static acrylic cleaner. Do not use gasoline, alcohol, benzene, carbon tetra-
chloride, thinner, acetone, or glass window cleaning sprays. Use only a non-
abrasive cotton cloth or genuine chamois to clean acrylic windows. Paper
towel or newspaper are highly abrasive and will cause hairline scratches.
NOTE: Wiping with a circular motion can cause glare rings. Use an up and
down wiping motion to prevent this. To prevent scratching from dirt that has
accumulated on the cloth, fold cloth to expose a clean area after each pass.
1 Wipe the windows clean with a moist cloth or chamois.
