Frequently Asked Questions
What is Aviation Laboratories Clear View Aircraft Plexiglass Scratch Remover and Polish?
It is a spray-on plastic polish and scratch remover made specifically for aircraft plexiglass windows and windshields. Its dual-action formula smooths out fine scratches while polishing the surface, restoring scratched or cloudy windows to a crystal-clear, like-new finish. It comes in a 13 oz can and is designed to maintain critical in-flight visibility.
How do you use Clear View to remove scratches from aircraft windows?
Application is simple. Spray the product onto the clean plastic surface, then wipe it off with a soft cloth. The dual-action, residue-free formula works the polish into fine scratches while polishing the surface, so there are no multiple steps or extra products needed. This streamlined process saves time during routine aircraft window maintenance.
Is Clear View safe to use on aircraft plexiglass and acrylic?
Yes. Clear View uses a non-abrasive formula that is safe for various plastic types, so it will not damage delicate aircraft plexiglass or acrylic windows and windshields. It was engineered specifically for the demanding requirements of aircraft plastic, unlike automotive products repurposed for aviation use, so it protects material integrity while improving clarity.
Can Clear View actually remove deep scratches, or only fine ones?
Clear View is formulated to remove and smooth out fine, shallow scratches on plastic windshields and windows, restoring a clear finish. Deep gouges that catch a fingernail are generally beyond the reach of a polish and may require professional acrylic repair or window replacement. For everyday hazing and fine scratching, Clear View restores clarity.
Does Clear View leave an oily or hazy residue?
No. Clear View is a residue-free formula. You simply spray it on and wipe it off, and nothing oily or hazy is left behind on the window. This residue-free finish is part of why it delivers a clear, professional-grade result and is faster to use than products that require extra buffing or rinsing steps.
What size is the Clear View can?
Clear View is available in a convenient 13 oz can. This size is easy to store in a hangar, flight bag, or maintenance kit and is well suited to routine aircraft window upkeep on a single airplane or across a small fleet. The compact can makes it practical to keep on hand for touch-ups.
Is Clear View made specifically for aircraft, or is it a repurposed automotive product?
It is engineered specifically for aviation. Aviation Laboratories designed Clear View for the demanding requirements of aircraft plastic windows and windshields rather than repurposing an automotive polish. Aviation maintenance professionals recommend this specialized formula because it maintains critical visibility standards while being gentle on aircraft plastics.
What types of aircraft can Clear View be used on?
Clear View works on aircraft plastic windows and windshields across many types of aircraft. It is suitable whether you are maintaining a corporate fleet, a training aircraft, or your personal plane. It is intended for plastic, plexiglass, and acrylic transparencies rather than only one make or model.
Should I use Clear View for cleaning or for restoring scratched windows?
Clear View is a polish and scratch remover, so reach for it when you want to restore scratched or cloudy windows to a clear finish, not just wipe off surface dirt. Its dual-action formula smooths fine scratches while polishing the plastic, which goes beyond what routine cleaning alone accomplishes on hazed or lightly scratched transparencies.
Can Clear View restore a scratched aircraft window without replacing it?
Yes, for fine scratching and hazing. You can restore clarity to scratched aircraft windows without expensive replacement. The proven restoration technology extends the usable life of your aircraft's critical visibility components, helping you avoid premature windshield or window replacement when the damage is shallow.
Why does maintaining clear aircraft windows matter for safety?
Scratched, cloudy, or hazy transparencies scatter light and reduce visibility, which can cause glare and make traffic or terrain harder to see, especially flying into a low sun. Restoring flawless clarity helps maintain the visibility standards pilots rely on, so keeping windshields and windows polished supports safer flight operations.
