What do you guys and gals use to remove bugs and road grime on your SS windshield? I have heard that windex was not a perfered product to use.
Windshield Maintenance
-
I get a towel wet with warm water and hang it on the windshield. Softens the bugs up and they come right off.
-
Regular old vinegar also woks without any damage

Do NOT use any product that has ammonia … I generally use 'Glass Plus' to get the bugs off and than F4 Customs windshield cleaner. Sometimes Plexus...

I have owned/rode all types of bikes from most manufactures (more than I care to list) to include four Hondas. VFR 750 interceptor, two Nighthawks & a 750 Magma. All great bikes, loved them. Have owned Harleys too. Loved them. If only I had more money, I'd buy them all. Never made any choice according to a dealer or any other influence,
If I had a garage filled with a Lexus, Corvette, and a 57 Chevy I would chose each at different times. My most chosen ride would be the 57 Chevy, not the smoothest, fastest or most comfortable but a whole lot of fun! They all are.

Growing up the family 'car' was a 57 Chevy Station Wagon.... Did get to use it from time to time for dates.

Nice! You must have been the coolest kid in town!

Don't think so... Couple of the local farm boys had new convertibles. Our wagon was Robin egg blue four door.

I love those older cars. Step on the gas, a pause the engine would take a big gulp of air, then Wa-Wah pull like a tractor. My dad had a 1970 Ford Country Squire station wagon complete with fake wood panel decal down the side. Yea, yours was much cooler!

I use computer screen wipes. I buy them at Big Lots or Walmart. Wipes away the bugs clean and then dry with paper towel. Works like a charm.
-
Water with a Mr.Clean Eraser, works great!
-
My wind resister came with special sauce made expressly for plexiglass
-
We were introduced to using Lemon Pledge on our aircraft windows decades ago and it was just natural to continue using it on our SlingShot.

I use Brillianize plastic cleaner and polish which I get from Tap Plastic store or Amazon. Has been working great.
-
Just use anything that states it's safe for Plexiglass. SC Johnson does NOT recommend pledge for plexi. I've seen aircraft owners that have sworn by it, however in some cases their windscreens seemed hazy and others had quite a few superficial scratches. I'd avoid it. For a few bucks more you can get a cleaner made specifically for plexi that will probably last for a year.
-
I bought a can of Plexus plastic cleaner at the local Harley dealer shortly after buying my Slingshot - its a bit over priced, but it works

Oh, and every aircraft owner also knows that you are suppose to use copious amounts of water first to get any grit off of the windshield, (which is what causes the scratches), first, before using a polish, do they not?Bill
