There is a
product "Scratch Out" available from Wal-Mart.
It's in a yellow, plastic bottle found in the automotive
section. This is "unbelievable" stuff on Lexan.
It removes fine line, haze like scratches, mineral spots and bug
junk from just about anything. Leaves the surface
really clean (need to put wax or whatever you use back on if
it's a painted surface). First product I've found that works
this good. Regards, Jim Mc Mahon Airborne Edge X/582/Wizard Wing "Rita's Choice" Virginia & Florida I always have my share of bugs on my X-Air..... what i do is soak a towel with warm water and lay it over the affected part...... leave there for a couple of hours and give the bugs a good soaking, this softens them up and makes then really easy to remove with a soft cloth. Using this method is great on the windscreen because it stops the Lexan from getting scratched. Hope it helps.... any other methods out there ?? Best Wishes, Michael Coates Sydney, Australia. Home of the 2000 Olympics X-Air Web Site: I agree whole heartedly with Michael about using the wet towel
soak on the lexan windshield. It does not take much to
scratch them up to a haze. For the rest of the bug-guts
areas I would suggest using PLEDGE (lemon) furniture polish.
It cuts thru it quite well and leaves a barely visible wax film
which makes all later cleanings that much easier. This is
available in the U.S., but not sure about Oz. I'm certain
an Oz equivalent exists. Make sure it has the lemon in it
because it seems to cut the stuff better. Simple Green®
