PPG Clarity® Transparency Cleaning System — Two-Part Aircraft Transparency Cleaner | Coated & Uncoated Plastics
Professional-grade two-part cleaning — engineered to restore crystal-clear transparency, remove insect residue, and protect aircraft plastic surfaces with every application.
The PPG Clarity® Transparency Cleaning System is a professional two-part cleaning method specifically engineered for coated and uncoated aircraft plastic transparencies — with a specialized focus on removing insect residue and superficial debris. The proprietary formulation not only cleans but also affords additional protection to the substrate, facilitates future cleanings, and potentially increases the transparency's useful service life while reducing overall maintenance time.
⚠️ Usage Notice: Wipes are disposable and not resealable — recommended for one-time use only. Dispose of wipes upon visible debris accumulation according to applicable federal, state, and local ordinances. Store away from sunlight at room temperature — usable up to 6 months from date of manufacture.

The Two-Part Cleaning Process
💧
Step 1 — Wet Wipe
Debris Removal
The wet wipe is formulated with a proprietary blend to lift and remove superficial debris — with a specialized emphasis on insect residue and surface contaminants from coated and uncoated plastic transparencies
|
🪣
Step 2 — Dry Wipe
Haze Elimination
The dry wipe follows to remove any remaining haze left on the substrate after the wet wipe — restoring full optical clarity and leaving the transparency surface clean, clear, and protected
|

Result
Crystal Clarity + Protection
The proprietary blend leaves a protective layer on the substrate that facilitates future cleanings, potentially extends the transparency's useful service life, and reduces ongoing maintenance time

Performance Features
🪲 Insect Residue Specialist
The proprietary wet wipe formulation is specifically engineered with an emphasis on removing insect residue — one of the most stubborn and persistent contaminants on aircraft transparencies — without damaging coated or uncoated plastic surfaces.
|
🛡️ Substrate Protection
Beyond cleaning, the proprietary blend affords additional protection to the transparency substrate — creating a surface condition that facilitates future cleanings, potentially extends the transparency's useful service life, and reduces overall maintenance time.
|
🧤 Non-Abrasive & Low-Lint
Carefully selected non-abrasive, low-lint wiping cloths provide good durability for single-use application without scratching, damaging, or leaving lint residue on coated transparency surfaces — preserving optical clarity and coating integrity.
|
📦 Vapor Barrier Packaging
Vapor barrier resistant packaging with both wipes sealed in individual compartments maintains the integrity and moisture content of each wipe until the precise moment of use — ensuring consistent performance from the first wipe to the last.
|
⏱️ Reduced Maintenance Time
The two-part system's easy application and consistent cleaning method reduces time required for periodic transparency cleanings — while the substrate protection benefit means subsequent cleanings require less effort, further compounding time savings across the maintenance cycle.
|
✅ Coated & Uncoated Compatibility
Formulated to work safely and effectively on both coated and uncoated plastic aircraft transparencies — providing a single, consistent cleaning solution across diverse aircraft transparency types without the risk of coating damage or surface degradation.

Storage Instructions
🌡️
Room Temperature
Store at room temperature — do not expose to extreme heat or cold which may affect wipe performance and formulation integrity
|
🌑
Away from Sunlight
Store away from direct sunlight — UV exposure can degrade the vapor barrier packaging and reduce wipe effectiveness over time
|
📅
6-Month Shelf Life
Use within 6 months of the date of manufacture — check packaging date before use and rotate stock accordingly to ensure peak performance
|
Tips for Best Results
✓ Begin with the wet wipe to remove superficial debris and insect residue — use gentle, consistent strokes across the full transparency surface
✓ Follow immediately with the dry wipe to remove any remaining haze — do not allow the wet wipe residue to dry on the surface before applying the dry wipe
✓ Where extensive debris or insect residue is present, use the second wet wipe included in the package before proceeding to the dry wipe step
✓ Dispose of wipes upon visible debris accumulation — do not attempt to reuse or reseal wipes, as this may redeposit contaminants onto the transparency surface
✓ Check the manufacture date on packaging before use — do not use packages beyond the 6-month shelf life to ensure optimal cleaning and protection performance
✓ Store unused packages away from sunlight at room temperature — proper storage preserves wipe integrity and extends usable shelf life to the full 6-month window
