cleaning of the shield

[mastertek2000]

What are people using for cleaning of the shield?

 

[Highwayman2013]

I drape a wet towel over the windshield for about 15 minutes. All the bugs get soft, wipe with the wet towel then dry with a soft cloth.

Hydrogen peroxide and water 50/50 mix for bugs and Plexus

The best

 

[Lagaffe]

I use Plexus too...

 

[bcoulter19]

do you use plexus for all of your plastics?

 

[Bob Denman]

Another vote for Plexus here! :thumbup:
I use it only on the windshield; the rest of the bike gets a more "normal" car wash-type soap... :shocked:
Turtle Wax Ice...

Ice; is nice!

I spray the windshield with water/drop of detergent (I keep a spray bottle in my side bag) and it soften the bug splatters. I gently wipe this off using clean micro fiber cloths then follow with Plexus. I buff the plexus vertically which helps disperse rain water better. Other than a mild car wash I never use any chemicals other than plexus or water to avoid stripping the chemical scratch resistant surface treatment on the windshield. I do not use plexus on the rest of the bike other lights, too expensive. The painted areas are painted with automotive grade finishes so I use Turtle Wax Ice, it can be applied to any surface including the dash and leaves no residue. It Lasts for months so while it is about $17 a bottle it is good value.

Pretty stiff price as it is only sold by the case.

 

[Chupaca]

Have to agree..!!

Plexus is the best but for those moments of limited funds "Protect all" works just as well but much cheaper. And yes I do the whole roadster..works the best now that I can't put my back into it...:roflblack::roflblack:

Amazon shows it available by the can. The Honda stuff is $6 and the plexis is $22

I have been told that Rain-X is a no no.

 

[revjvegas]

DO NOT USE Rain X

I have been told that Rain-X is a no no.

Yup, that is a BIG no no.
It will cause your windshield to cloud. Read the bottle and it will state that it is only safe to use on GLASS.

So stick with the Plexus or some other approved cleaner for Plexiglas type products. Stuff also works great on cleaning the face shield on your helmet.

 

[jerpinoy]

Spray bottle with water is great cheap and ready avail.

 

[Dan McNally]

I started using Plexi Brite . . . works great and much less expensive than Plexus
