I used the product for the first time on my Skyhawk and it does a great job. Before application I rinsed off the dust and bug bodies. Application of Aviat couldnt be easier. Wipe it on and wipe it off almost at the same time. No elbow grease required. It leaves a great shine and removes any water marks. I used it to clean the top, sides and leading edges of the aircraft and used only 10 ounces of Aviat. From a gallon, I transferred some to a plastic spray bottle for ease of application. Aviat seems to smear a little on plexiglass so I used a different product (Novus) to clean and protect the windshield and windows.
