Hammer Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Has anyone used the RejeX product as a protective coating on the CT exterior? What is an acceptable pH range for washes, waxes and cleaners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 FD would like to see you use a Ph neutral wash, i.e Composiclean. They also have a nice spray on wax. The only problem is the Ph neutral stuff gets off regular dirt, but not oil or grease. That will require a Ph base. Many of us have been using Oil Eater for the last 6 years without any issues. Anything that really cuts grease and oil will be on the base side. You don't have to soak the plane in it just use it for the spot jobs, especially on the bottom and back along the tail-boom. Some use Simple Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runtoeat Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 A paper towel whetted with some rubbing alcohol does a fast job removing yellow exhaust stains from the bottom of my plane. I follow up with a coating of Composiclean or Turtle Ice spray on wax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Meade Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Goop gets off exhaust stains. Used in on my 210. The none-gritty kind. Endorsed by Cessna Pilot's Association. Simple Green has a couple of formulations. I guess the aircraft version is OK. The other is rough on the plane, I've been told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT4ME Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 BTW... we've emailed the Composiclean people numerous times, asking them to participate in our forum, and promote their products (free). For whatever reason, they've never responded. I'd love to hear what they have to say about the care and feeding of composites, pH, UV protection, etc. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyRatz Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 FlightDesign uses a WÖRWAG W750 PUR laquer for the finish of the CTs. This laquer is very resistable to cleaners. From the datasheet of the laquer comes the following list of substances, the laquer will resist without any chemical changes. Hydrochloric acid (10 %) Acid sulfur (10 %) Caustic soda (25 %) Ammonia (10 %) FAM Testfuel Diesel Gearbox oil Hydraulic oil Brake fluid DOT4 Cold cleaning solvent For wiping off the yellow exhaust stains, I use pure orange oil. Works very well. Greetings from Germany Markus W750-W752.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
