Aircraft windscreen cleaning products are specially formulated to effectively clean and maintain the optical clarity of aircraft windscreens and canopies, which are typically made from acrylic or polycarbonate. Unlike standard glass cleaners, these products are designed to be non-abrasive, ammonia-free, and alcohol-free to prevent damage such as hazing, scratching, or weakening of the specialized plastics.

They safely remove contaminants like bugs, oil, exhaust residue, dust, and water spots without leaving streaks or residues that could impair visibility during flight. Many solutions also incorporate anti-static properties to repel dust and some offer rain-repellent characteristics to improve visibility in wet weather. These products are crucial for maintaining optimal visibility for pilots, contributing directly to flight safety. They are often available as sprays, wipes, or polishing compounds, sometimes used in conjunction with soft, lint-free microfiber cloths.
