Plexiglass cleaner

I recently smeared turtle wax inside outside protectant on the outside of my ARE MX plexiglass windows. Any advice to remove the smear streaks?

 

IPA should remove everything, including your protectant. Clean up then reapply.

 

Be careful using IPA near painted parts of your truck though, if not used/diluted correctly it will remove paint. Also, I would be careful using it on plastic too.

 

IPA? Have a name or a picture to better know what I’m lookin for. Any other safer options, that aren’t so dangerous for the plastic and paint?

 

Isopropyl alcohol

 

have you tried windex? its got some alcohol in it. might do the trick.

 

Plastic polish

 

I did yes... all it did was add to smearing

 

Any brands you’d recommend?

 

Been using this stuff on airplanes and motorcycles for over a decade.

Lemon pledge works very well

 

Second on the Plexus. Best I ever used on motorcycle acrylic windscreens.

 

Definitely don't use Windex or any glass cleaner with ammonia— it can damage the surface. Soap and water is the safest place to start. IPA is okay in small areas but not good near machined edges. I use Novus or Brillianize on acrylic and polycarbonate for cleaning and hand polishing.

 

I had to ask myself why are people using IPA beer to clean lexan.

 

Thank you all for the great information. I’ll give soap and water a go then I’ll give this plexus a go
