• Offered on Clopay WindCode® garage doors up to W6 (not available in Miami-Dade or Broward Counties).
• Available in white, brown, sandtone, and almond colors.

Cleaning Instructions
Use a clean sponge or a soft cloth and wash the window surface with a mild soap and lukewarm water. Rinse well with clean water. Dry thoroughly with a chamois or moist cellulose sponge to prevent water spots. Do not scrub or use brushes on this product. The following cleaning agents have been found compatible with LEXAN™:

  • Joy*
  • VM&P grade Naphtha
  • Top Job*
  • Palmolive Liquid**
  • Freon T.F.
  • Windex with Ammonia D***

*Registered Trademarks of Procter & Gamble. **Registered Trademark of Colgate Palmolive. ***Registered Trademark of the JohnsonDiversey Consumer Branded Professional Products.

Repairing Hairline Scratches
Scratches and minor abrasions can be minimized by using a mild automobile polish. Test a small area with the product prior to using it on a complete window. Three products that are marketed to polish and fill scratches are:

  • Johnson Paste Wax
  • Novus Plastic Polish #1 & #2 (Novus, Inc., Minneapolis, MN)
  • Mirror Glaze Plastic Polish (M.G. M10) (Mirror Bright Polish Co., Pasadena, CA)

  Graffiti/Paint Removal 

The following products can be used to remove graffiti or paint from a LEXAN™ panel: 

  • Butyl cellosolve
  • Masking tape, adhesive tape or lint removal tools work well for lifting off old weathered paints 
  • To remove labels, stickers, etc., the use of kerosene, VM&P naphtha or petroleum spirits is generally effective. When the solvent will not penetrate the sticker material, apply heat (hair dryer) to soften the adhesive and promote removal.

  Important Cleaning “Don’t’s”

  • DO NOT use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners
  • Never scrape LEXAN™ with squeegees, razor blades or other sharp instruments
  • Benzene, gasoline, acetone or carbon tetrachloride should never be used
  • DO NOT clean LEXAN™ in hot sun or at elevated temperatures
