Plexus seems like the way to go. Keep the tips coming, theirs some interesting ones here.Plexux with a microfiber cloth. Great for helmet visors too.
Got to try this tip!I just wash it with the car wash stuff I use on the Spyder and dry it with a paper towel. When I have squashed bugs on it I'll wet a dryer sheet and then wash it right off...otherwise it'll scratch and leave a residue. I found any cheap dryer sheet when wet will dissolve the bugs off the paint, windshield, etc. and it works fine. Just be sure to wet it first and then wash it off right away. I used it on the stock windshield and the touring model I have on it now.

Cleaning your WindshieldWe make our own cleaning fluid. When you buy a windshield from us, we give you a small spray bottle of cleaning fluid and a micro-fiber cleaning towel. Here's our "secret" washing fluid recipe, the result of testing about 25 different formulas:
Makes 1 quart = 1 liter windshield washing fluid
We recommend using only micro-fiber cleaning towels on your windshield.
- 1/2 cup = 100ml ammonia (double this if you have a lot of bugs)
- 2 cups = 400ml isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol
- 1.5 tsp = 8ml car wash detergent (don't substitute dish soap or laundry detergent)
- 2 cups = 500ml water
:agree: That's exactly what I do. Maybe I'm as smart as Forest...OK...I know I'm not!I use the CalSi formula and it is great.... even on other glass and mirrors.
And its cheap.
