8.5 Cleaning and Care<br />
After every flight, especially in warm climates, it is recommended to<br />
clean the surface of the aircraft using pure water and a soft cotton<br />
towel only. Take special care when cleaning the windows to use lots<br />
of water to loosen and rinse away bugs and dirt and use with only a<br />
soft cotton towel, or otherwise you will create scrat<strong>ch</strong>es. If cleaned<br />
regularly, you may not need to use any special cleaning products. If<br />
for any reason special cleaning products need to be used, please<br />
contact your dealer for advice. For polishing you can use almost any<br />
car polish but be sure that no silicone is used in that product.<br />
