What do you guys use to clean your windshields so you don't end up scratching it? I've been using Plexus but just ran out. Just thought I would see if there is something else to use? Thanks Gene Last edited on Wed Apr 8th, 2009 04:54 am by Azwngr |

I have used Lemon Pledge for years and no problems. Also works good for touch up on the bike. I carry a can of pledge wrapped in a cotton towel in the trunk. My son likes the Orange Pledge. Just remember to hide it from your wife.

I use a product called slipstreamer. It works great and desolves bugs quick. I use a micro fiber towel to apply amd a cleam dry micro fiber towel to buff off. Leaves a clean finish and when it rains the water slips right off. Most bike dealers carry it. Great for polycarbon surfaced windshields.

I use 210 Spray Polish and cleaner. It dissolves the bugs and after 2 years the windshield still looks like new. When using it ,it reminds you of the old Pledge from the 70s and 80s before they changed the formula. It can also be used to clean the bike.

I have a Tulsa tall windshield. The instructions at their site recommends not using Rain-x or Pledge as they contain alcohol or amonia. According to them, both will eventually soften the poly coating. Read here: http://www.allamericanprod.com/hints.html

Sprayway glass cleaner. It is also used on the line at airports, as it's 100% safe on Plexi. It's the only spray that good linemen will use when cleaning windshields on airplanes.

 I use "Mer-maids" Plexiglass/Plastic Cleaner & Polish which cleans plexiglas, lexan, acrylic & vinyl windows. I buy it at Fisheries Supply, a marine supply store in Seattle.Last edited on Thu Apr 9th, 2009 12:44 am by 83GoldWinger ____________________ 83GoldWinger 1983 GL1100 Interstate Bought New 25 Jan 1983 Candy Regal Brown (the most popular color) __________________________________________ 1968 Honda CL350 Bought in 1969 (and still have it) ___________________________________________ Photos of my '83 Interstate in the photo gallery. http://www.goldwingfacts.com/forums/gallery_view.php |

I have a very blochy windshield on my 99 goldwing. I think some of the polymer coating is peeling off. What can I do Last edited on Thu Mar 3rd, 2011 05:10 pm by perrydog |

I used to use water and Pledge, but the secret is to only ever use a microfiber cloth, and to only wipe it in verticle strokes on the outside, and only in horizontal strokes on the inside. If you use a circular motion even a microfiber towel will leave tiny spiral scratches eventually and a spiral scratch is going to pick up every glint of light possible. Now I use 'Rejex' over the entire bike, including the windshield, every six months, after that it is just a moist (water) cloth to dissolve the bugs, and the dust/bugs just slide right off. It also gives the bike a very glossy wet finish and slick to the touch. (Don't ever use it on your seat or you will not be able to stay on it again)

I use PlastX clear plastic cleaner and ploish by Meguiars. It says it removes fine scraches, cloudiness & stubborn oxidation. Works great!
