The warning to not do this is not based on opinion. It is chemistry.

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.

:agree: Ammonia or alcohol based products will craze or cloud the windshield (or face shields) in due time. The acrylic windshileds are particularly susceptable, but the polycarbonate (Lexan) windshields like the Spyder will suffer eventually.

when we purchased the bike we used honda spray...it is easy to apply and buff. you can use it in bright sun or cold weather...how ever after having pin striping done to the bike the painter said not to use a petrolium based spray.it will dull the striping ..honda spray is petrolium based...we now use bug slide and it works well...we dont get the bright sheen we got with the honda spray but it protects very well...application is easy and it buffs easily..and it is not petrolium based...

we use bug slide on the bike and lemon pledge on the wind shield...if you are caught in the rain, you get the pleasure of the lemony taste as you are going down the road as it rolls off the wind shield and hits your face..you may look funny licking your face going down the road, but the taste is awesome....

Don't use this stuff...
Don't use anything that has amonia or alcohol. See the atteached PDF for the reasons why.
furniture polish is very good, so is Plexus.

Amonia based cleaners will cause the surface of the polycarbonate and acrylics ( tail light lenses) to "craze" and turn cloudy.
I think the Goldwing spay has alcohol; Windex has amonia. You would be better off cleaning with duesel fuel (don't use that either--it is extremely flamable).
