Cleaning camper canvass windows

I tried google without much luck. What do I use to clean the plastic windows in my camper canvass?

Re: Cleaning camper canvass windows

If the windows are just dirty then use only a mild soap & water & a sponge. Nothing abrasive as you'll see the scratches whenever the sun shines on them

Depending on what they are dirty from.

Meguires makes some really great products for cleaning plastic windows. Non lemon pledge also works after the main dirt is removed with soap and water.

However if they are yellow and discolored, then they simply need to be replaced. Local canvas shops will do that for not a lot of $

There is a polish with a light abrasive that removes "most" yellowing/milky and scratches, I have a tube somewhere, just cannot remember the name.

The windows are new they just have sea solt dried on them. I would like to clean them before the boat goes up for the season im just not sure if Windex is the best option.

Don't use windex, the windows could go milky.
Just mild soap and water then rinse.

For routine cleaning and upkeep, use Plexus. Soap and water in a pinch is okay.
