I have Airlift Extreme XRS doors, I was wondering what everyone does for cleaning them. The clear panels keep getting the white hard water film on them, I have scrubbed with general cleaners. I dont want to put anything harsh on them. Also if you have any "DO NOT USE ON THEM" I am sure I(we) will appreciate the input.

Panal cleaning
I have the same doors and have been using furniture polish to keep them looking good. Its is what a lot of boaters do to keep the clear panels on their canopies clean. Mine still look great with no build up after 2 seasons. Not sure it will get already formed hard water spots off. Haven't had that issue. I would stay away from anything that has ammonia in it.

Pick up some muratic acid from your local paint store and dilute it in a bucket 3 part water to 1 part acid. You can spray it on with a acid sprayer like a weed sprayer or brush it on with a nylon bristle brush. Let it sit for a minute or two then brush in again and rinse with water. I have been doing this for 15 years and it gets them like new.
I dont think they have been making these doors for 15 years, But I am not spraying acid on these doors that I just plunked down $15k on!!! The doors are awesome, open and close very fast just want to try and get the clear vue panels a bit cleaner!! I am guessing you mean the airlift polycarbonite doors, these are the fabric doors I have. I would be concerned about the threads and cloth being ruined by acid cleaners.
I use Simple Green on the panels to get the dirt and scum off and Meguiar's PlastX Cleaner and polisher to finish. It's like 5 dollars a bottle on amazon. It's the same stuff I use on convertible soft top windows. Don't use anything that could scratch the panels like a scotchbrite pad. I just used some rags.

When you said car wash door I thought that you meant a door. I consider the fabric and vinyl versions curtains.
