Jeez, its sooo much easier to get a response out of the racers forums than ANYWHERE else on this entire site. Thanks for everyones help, all the emails and advice.

I think if i provided our detailer up here with the micromesh kit, he could knock out a good lookin windscreen.. He does wonders with everything else i tear up..

5k sounds VERY cheap for canopy material.

i have never heard of anyone correcting scratches in a canopy with any success.

i wish my only problem with canopies were some scratches!LOL

Maybe not prop scratches ...

Plus I dont know how bad the canopy is, I do know a Air Force wrench looked at mine and said "most of this should come out, the more you work the better it will be"... for what ever thats worth.

Fountain uses Safe Lite glass, they are "standard" models and start at $5k. I have priced them. The ones in that 35 are probably more since they are larger than ours. Also you should look on their website or call them prior to trying to buff them with any chemical. They specifically list certain cleaners to use. Those lites are 3 layers bonded together and are very sensitive to harsh cleaners.
