    Smile Composite Cleaner

    So who has the "shiznit" best ever cleaner for 89WD? I've got some light staining by my fuel caps. I've have the spray cleaner with the CT on the label, while it works good, it won't cut the light, light staining. Any ideas out there in CT land?

    Mike,

    The "Composiclean" products were developed by a friend of Tom P's with the CT in mind. They work great and are PH neutral. Kit's use to come with new planes - don't know if they still do or not but you can find the product on line.

    I know the "grocery store products" are always cheaper but this composite stuff is new and we don't have a lot of long range testing behind us so I'd stick with what the dealers and FD recommend for the time being.

    Also the U.of Kansas is currently/has tested a salvaged composite tail portion of a airliner, [ which was scrapped ] after 8,000 some landings and over 20,000 flight hours, I believe the figures were.

    Oh, so far the test show no significante loss of strength.

    Just have to disagree with the term " composite " being new.

    Warm soapy water with chammy leather works very well on all our 5 CTSWs at Damyns Hall.It takes all the stains from fuel away, without damage to paint or lacquer.
