Windshields

Can Rain X be used on the windshields, or is that a bad idea? ray:

Not a good idea. Using protect all or plexsus will be best...

Rain-X or any other product containing alcohol or ammonia (like regular Windex) will eventually cloud or craze plastic windshields or helmet faceshields. It can be worth it, but the cost is the need to replace the shield every few years. They can often be polished to gain some extra life, but that removes any surface hardening or chemical protectant, so from there on they deteriorate faster.

This is what I use on all my vehicles including all windows approved for Plexiglas too

Now I've come across "treatments" like this before, which claim to replace waxes or polishes. None of them have worked as claimed. But RejeX definitely feels different. I use it on my motorcycle helmets, the painted surfaces on the motorcycle and also the clear plastic visor and windscreen. It leaves a very smooth surface feel -- you can really feel the rag slide over the surface, unlike any other polish I've ever used. It leaves a very nice shine and seems to deepen the colors.Where it really comes into its own is after a ride or two. I can't say that it meets the manufacturer's claim that it's "so slick, bugs don't stick", because they do. But it's amazing how easy it is to remove the bugs on treated surfaces. I can spray a touch of Glass Plus or even water on a soft rag and wipe the treated surfaces, like the front of the Tiger's fairing, and the bugs come right off with very little effort. Alternatively, a rinse with clear water from a hose seems to flush the bugs right off the bike's surface. Pretty amazing​
