I've lightly scratched my windshield and would like to polish the scratches out. Is the stock Spyder windshield plexiglass or lexan?

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.

Not sure, technically, what the actual material of the windshield is. But, I like the Novus #2 polish for addressing small scratches or swirls in plastics. And, I have used this on my BRP Ultrasport windshield (Makrolon Polycarbonate).

The BRP shields are made out of DOT approved Polycarbonate. Polycarbonate scratches easier than some other materials used for shields (acryllic,Lexan, etc.), but is a better, stronger, safer material in my opinion.
No shield is built to last forever, considering the number of bugs that will splat on them------

Lexan is polycarbonate. Plexiglass is acrylic. Shatterproof eyeglass lenses are made of polycarbonate, BTW. Strong stuff! Harder to polish out scratches than in acrylic, though.
