• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Is Lamonster Windshield Cleaner still available? What else won't hurt the windshield?

I use to use Lamonster Black Diamond Windshield Cleaner. Bought 10 cans of it some time back. Just about out and went to the Lamonster Store, but all I can find now is detailer. Is the windshield cleaner still available and if not, what is everyone using that won't harm the windshield?

Thanks.

I've been using Plexus on all my shields and windscreens forever and never had a problem. Pricy but excellent.
 
I place a wet towel over the outside of the shield for about 10 minutes then wipe clean and follow up with "Lemon Pledge".
 
I use a micro fiber towel soaked in warm water at home. On the road I use a spray detailer in a small squirt bottle I keep on the bike and a micro towel. I use this to clean my faceshield mostly.
 
I don't know of any product that works better than Plexus. Been using it for 20+ years. Expensive, but goes a long way
 
Yamaha Spray Wax and Detailer. Great stuff; makes my Spyder and windshield shine. It does a great job of removing bugs and dirt and grime. I have been using it on my bikes for 30+ years and never had it cloud or scratch a windshield. My Spyder is 12 years old, has the original windshield, and it is still clear as new. Spyder has 79,400 miles. Oh, and it's cheap too.

Very good question! I was wondering myself.

I like simple. When I bought my new car in January, I wanted a simple yet effective cleaning solution and regiment, and after hours of "research" I settled on this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C2F8VJHG/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza?th=1

This does a great job on cleaning my entire car, inside and out. I keep a large spray bottle of this handy at all times. Just dilute it per the instructions and it works well. I use only distilled water and make a gallon at a time and pour it into the spray bottle as needed. I also only use high quality microfiber cloths to wipe, clean and dry/polish. Smells nice and leaves the surface smooth to the touch.

It appeared to do the same for my Windscreen on the Can-Am, although I will admit I reached out to them and asked if it would harm the clear material in any way long term. No response back yet.

:cheers:

I've used many different products over the years. Honestly, they all work fairly well.
Pledge (and generics) works fine. It's just silicon with some other minor ingredients. It's pretty much time tested in the motorcycle world.
Windex Ammonia free glass cleaner works well and won't cause yellowing. But, it has to be NO ammonia. Ammonia will ruin the plastic over time.
Plexus works really well, but it's expensive.
Meguiar's Ultimate Waterless Wash and Wax is my main go to. Works really well, doesn't cause any discoloration. It leaves a wax like film that makes bug removal easier.
Another product in the same vein, is Aero Cosmetics Wash-Wax All. Another of my go-to products. Works the same as the Meguiar's.

I use water and dish soap. I soak a microfiber cloth in a mix of water and dish soap in a quart zip lock bag. that and 3-4 clean dry microfiber cloths stay in the frunk all the time for cleaning the windshield. (I do change out the wet one every couple of weeks)
 
I use the F4 Customs windshield cleaner. Here is the link:

Lemon Pledge is awesome! I’ve been using it on my bikes for 35 years. It excels for bugs, and is safe on everything. Seats, mirrors, plastics, chrome, and I love it on my matte black helmet and visor. It repels dust and beads water. I haven’t given any bike a soap & water job in 20 years.

Lemon pledge works good.
