What is best to use to clean a Monokote covered plane?

I use a 50% mix of rubbing alcohol and ammonia. Or denatured alcohol too works well.

I clean em at the feild with a common kitchen cleaner (409, Cinch, Fantastik) with Windex in it and clean it again when I get home with Johnson's Pledge. Shines them up like new and gets rid of any oil film.

I just use windex (or a generic brand) and some paper towles

Thanks a lot for the tips.....Eaiser than I thought.....I just built my first kit, a GP PT-40 and I havent even flown yet. I got some epoxy on the monokote and cleaned it with alcohol, didnt look good.

i went to dollar general and got a jumbo sized bottle of generic instant orange. for a $1.00 and it seems to work well also.

Hi!
Cured epoxy is easiest removed from plastic film coverings by aceton...or eaven better, heating it with an iron. Methanol will not work.
Ca glue is easiest removed by using pure nitro.
