I've been using any kind of pledge or generic pledge for years now. I go thru about 2 cases a summer.Haven't had any problems with any of them. bought a couple or the Orange Pledge cans late this fall cause thats all they had. and I'm about half thru both of them. I didn't know it was cause lemon was discontinued. No problems yet. I'm sure I'll go thru a bunch of it so I'll let you know if it is harmful.

If you have a plastic dealer in your area they probably have it, Aircraft Spruce has it also.

I'll bet your aircraft windows are acrylic, not Lexan (polycarbonate).

Well gang, I was at Costco yesterday in Phoenix and there was a whole crate of Lemon Pledge. Not the word 0range on the can anywhere. Maybe it's a batch of old stock. I could find no manufacturing date on them. I bought me a three pack of large spray cans for $8. How's that for price George?

I've used Pledge for years because I like how well it works, plain and simple.

Novus is a nationwide chain outfit that specializes in fixing rock dings in windshields of cars. They also produce a line of plastic care products.

They have stores all over, and their product is cheap, and specifically designed for plastic windows.
