Default RE: What mixture do you use to clean your plane ?

Airplane Cleaner



Mix into a gallon jug -

* 10 cups water
* 2 cup denatured alcohol
* 1 cup ammonia
* 1/4 cup of favorite dish soap.

Pour into your spray bottle and use on your airplane as you normally would.


Doesn't leave streaks and it can be used on fabric. One swipe and the oil is gone. It doesn't hurt the the glues that all heat shink coverings have. I made 2 gallons of it and swear by it because it is that good.

And because I'm a good hearted man, I give the recipe out to whom ever wants it. Just go to your local hardware store and they will have all the ingredients you need.


ORIGINAL: jetmech05

it's not alchol that loosens the glue on monokote it's amonia...amonia that you'll find in glass cleaners


Ammonia breaking down the glues of Mono and or Ultra on a aircraft is a myth. I've used regular Windex for years without ever having a problem. People has been using it since the 70's and probably before that. But when I started to use the recipe I just shared, I never looked back.
