Speaking for myself, my airplane was painted with Delthane Catalyzed Acrylic Enamel and I have been using common household Formula 409 to get the bugs off the leading edges and the soot and grime off the bottom. Been using it since about '95 after almost every flight and have seen no deleterious effects on the paint what so ever. I've also tested the stuff on one of the quarter windows for about a year and from the results, now use it on the entire canopy when there is a lot of bug-guts smeared all over. Of course, I never let it sit on the paint or canopy for more'n as long as it takes to wipe things clean, but the bottom line is: things do wipe clean very quickly. As I prefaced this note, I'm only speaking for myself, I've had no bad results with the F-409.
