How to clean Avan plastic windows?
Permalink  

Hi all, we are still very new to the road and to our Avan M5 Ovation motorhome (Pod).

I have a question - 

What is the best way to clean the tinted plastic windows? (inside and out).

We have been parked under some trees this week and have some big streaks of bird poo that I'd like to get off and it's going to take more than a bit of water I think.

I understand that some products can damage the windows/coating and don't want to do that!

I went to the local supa cheap auto in the small town where we are currently staying (Biloela) to look for Meguiars plastic safe wash/polish products but they are not in stock.

Can I wash them with dishwashing detergent or is that bad for the plastic?

Thanks in advance!

Dishwashing detergent should be perfectly safe, just ensure that any dried bits are softened before rubbing them off to avoid scratching the windows.

Wipe it over with a soft cloth & warm water to soften it. Buy a spray can of VuPlex at a hardware & spray over your windows to protect them. www.vuplex.co
Used on perspex aircraft windows, great product.
