To Rick Argente, re: cleaning methods.

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.
