WINDSHIELD
-
WINDOWS.
The plastic
windshield
and
windows
should
be cleaned
with an aircraft
windshield
cleaner.
Apply
the
cleaner
sparingly
with soft cloths,
and rub
with moderate
pressure
until
all dirt,
oil scum
and bug stains
are
re-
moved.
Allow
the
cleaner
to
dry,
then
wipe it off with soft
flannel
cloths.
If a windshield
cleaner
is not available,
the
plastic
can
be cleaned
with soft cloths
moistened
with Stoddard
solvent
to
remove
oil and
grease.
NOTE
Never
use gasoline,
benzine,
alcohol,
acetone,
carbon
tetrachloride,
fire
extinguisher
or anti-ice
fluid,
lacquer
thinner
or glass
cleaner
to
clean
the
plastic.
These
ma-
terials
will
attack
the
plastic
and
may cause
it
to
eraze.
Follow
by carefully
washing
with a mild detergent
and plenty
-of
water.
Rinse
thoroughly, then
dry with a
clean
moist
chamois.
Do not rub
the
plastic
with a dry cloth
since
this
builds
up
an electrostatic
charge
which
attracts
dust.
Waxing
with a good commercial
wax will finish
the
clean-
ing
job.
A
thin,
even coat of wax,
polished
out by hand with
clean
soft
flannel
cloths,
will fill in minor
scratches
and help prevent
further
scratching.
Do not use a canvas
cover
on
the
windshield
unless
freezing
rain
or
sleet
is anticipated
since
the
cover
may
scratch
the
plastic
surface.
PAINTED
SURFACES.
The painted
exterior
surfaces
of your
new
Cessna
have
a durable,
long lasting
finish
and,
under
normal
conditions,
require
no polishing
or
buffing.
Approximately
15
days
are required
for
the
paint
to
cure
com-
pletely;
in most
cases,
the
curing
period
will have
been
completed
prior
to
delivery
of
the
airplane.
In
the
event
that
polishing
or buffing
is re-
quired
within
the
curing
period,
it is recommended
that the
work
be done
by
someone
experienced
in handling
uncured
paint.
Any
Cessna
Dealer
can accomplish
this
work.
