Have any of you tried the Holy Moly cleaning cloth to clean your windshield? I use theses on my Spyder windshield and on my mirrors,headlights,fog lights and chrome to get the bugs off.These use no chemicals just hot water. They work great . I wipe clean with Holy Moly cloth then use a microfiber cloth to dry. Streak free!
Give them a try you won't be disappointed.

Well they give a good spiel..... and actvate with water ..... however what 's important is what's also imbedded in the cloth ..... If there is bleach or any petrochemicals it will cause damage to plastic ( maybe not an F-4, but maybe even that will get damaged .... Mike
There are no chemicals in these cloths. That is what makes them so great. It is the way the material is produced that pulls the dirt off the surface using water only.
I have handwashed this cloth many times in the sink. Then let it air dry until needed again. If it contained chemicals they would be washed away after the first wash.

Cloth sounds interesting. Will continue with the Plexus I have and dedicated plush microfiber towel. If a lot of bugs/dirt then apply Plexus or water and let stand a bit first using a separate microfiber to ease off the worst. If at home just lay a wet towel over the windshield for a few minutes first.
Same here. A warm wet towel on the windshield for laid there for a couple of minutes makes the bugs slide away. Then I add plexus with microfiber towel.
I’m cheap. I simply mist my windshield and helmet with water. Let microfiber cloth sit on it for 4-5 minutes. Wipe and Buff clean and use pledge. We’ve used pledge on the sleds, wheelers, helmets, goggles and now spyder. I’ll pledge and wipe down entire bike each day while on the road unless there’s dried mud. never heard of holy moly. Not trying to sound bad but there used to be a product called cat sheat that was used on helmet visors. Spray on or wet wipes. It was expensive but worked. I learned about pledge at motocross racing cleaning visors instead of the tear offs that used to wavy looking depending on if if it got wet.

I started using pledge on the windshield on my ‘wing back in ‘86. It worked then, and it works now, annnnnnd, it smells good.
I use any old detail spray,I have a small spray bottle that I refill after each trip from a quart jug of detail spray.I spray a whole lot on right after I uncover the bike in the morning and let it sit for a few minutes then the bugs come right off with a microfiber towel.Whats most important is that you clean it every time you ride.
Lemon Pledge is supposed to work well but it's also supposed to attract bees.
Splat bees!

I have used Yamaha spray cleaner and detailer for over 20 years. It cleans great and shines even better. And it is cheap. I used to use Pledge when you could get it unscented, but they don't make that any more, and the Lemon attracts too many bees.

So from what I am reading am I screwing up by just washing the windshield (Blue Ridge) with the same car wash that I am using for the rest of my F3?
I am currently using Chemical guys citrus wash and gloss.
Please forgive my sins if this is wrong to do. But I am a new owner and only 2 washes in and I wasn't too sure about using it.
But I have been only using it very diluted just in case.

I don’t use anything but water on my windshield and then polish with pledge. I used RV wax wash combo on my side by side when I got it way back when and the stuff began clouding my windshield. I’ll never use it on my spyder windshield. I soap wash the entire bike accept windshield then rinse everything down and the windshield at the same time at the end.

I've used drug store hydrogen peroxide on bugs since my '06 GoldWing was new, and it hasn't damaged paint or windshield yet. Bugs foam up and soften after a few minutes, then wipe off with microfiber. Polish windshield, helmet visor, and tupperware with Original Bike Spirits.
When they quit making the can that said Honda cleaner and polish I started looking for an alternative. Quite a while ago I read that this Honda stuff was the very same cleaner/polish that was put out by all of the big motorcycle companies but the label said Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Harley, etc cleaner polish depending on the dealership brand it was being sold at. Some time ago they stopped this practice and just went to the name Original Bike Spirits. True or not - I believe it. Still good stuff.
