Scratched Windshield

As a new winger :grinner:, I just made one of my first mistakes :gunhead:. On a fairly long road trip this weekend, I found my wing with so much bug juice on the windshield I could barely see :shock:. Not having any other options open to me I stopped at a nearby gas station and used some of their dirty water and a squeegee. Now my windshield has a bunch of little scratches in it where there were none before. I assume some Plexiglas safe scratch out and a soft polishing cloth will take them out :baffled:, but first wanted to see if anyone :coollep: has any specific products and/or procedures they recommend for 1.) removing minor scratches from the windshield and for 2.) cleaning the windshield while on the road without leaving scratches in the first place.



Thanks for any comments :clapper:

If you have a store like a "Sams Club" in your area, then drop by and get a 48 count bundle of Terry towels. They are super cheap. So cheap you can throw them away if you use for grease wipe up. Wash the bundle when you get home, (remove plastic package first):cheeky1:then run through dryer with no softener pad or liquid. This is to remove the worst lint the first time around. Carry a few of these in your saddle bag for windshield cleaning, and bike cleaning while on the road. I carry a can of window cleaner spay, either Honda or one of the auto parts store that is tint safe, spay, let sit a minute, wipe gently with terry towel, then fold towel for a secondspray, wipe again using a cleanside on the towel and use more elbow grease.Never use the same towel on the windshield again until washed. Cheap solution and no scratches. My wife also keeps a bundle of these for use in the house. Maybe thats because she started using mine for furniture polish and I flipped out:shock:
