PLEXUS

 

Rain-X Rain Repellent works pretty good

 

I use Bugslide. Found it a couple of years ago for my Harley's windshield and love it. Works great.

I've tried everything and Pro Honda Plastic Cleaner and Polish works the best and costs less than most every other option. Available at any Honda motorcycle dealer or:

thanks for the link

 

I read somewhere that original Rain-X glass formula is bad for plastic/lexan/polycarbonate/whatever windshields. They have a formula for plastics available.

 

i have a full glass wind shield normal glass spray can
now my rear plexi window is a different story
it gets very dirty dusty really don,t have any proven cleaner that keeps that clean

 

My old machine I used McGuire's plastix polish, worked awesome, good for keeping headlamp lenses polished up also, won't discolor either

 

We use Plexus on both the rear and front. It does a very good job.

 

Try the Honda version I mentioned in post #6. It works better than Plexus in my experience...and it is noticeably less expensive.

 

Pledge (lemon) cleans the window up, reduces the scratches to invisible and is inexpensive. I use it before most rides. A can lasts about a year and smells good too. I carry a can in the overhead bag as well as a small clean cloth towel in a ziplock to cleanup the window on rides if it gets too covered.

 

I agree Lemon Pledge is the best. It will also work on your airplane windshield or the eisenglass on your boat.....and yeah it does smell nice

 

Have you tried the Lemon Pledge wipes?

I am thinking ziploc bag inside another ziploc bag to keep them fresh.

 

I haven't tried the wipes, but they sound like a good idea......use 'em and throw 'em away as they will have some dust/grit imbedded in them anyway. Note that I like to wipe down the bumper or roll bar or dash with the Pledge saturated towel after the window is polished. It does a nice job on them.

 

I just installed manual wipers, plus a washer nozzle that shoots a fan-shaped spray onto the windshield, high up. So I figure I'll use that on the trail, and after washing at home I'll hit the windshield with the Pledge.

Except I also ordered a bottle of Rain-X for plastics, and now I can't decide which would be a better idea: Rain-X to hopefully cause the water to bead up and roll down the windshield better, or Pledge to hide the mini-scratches.

When the windshield is actually clean, I don't seem to have much or a problem with scratches, so I will probably start with the Rain-X and see how well that works, and keep the Pledge wipes as a backup.

 

I'm mainly looking to reduce the dust build up on the
rides we go on in the sand . thanks for the info

 

I don't know about preventing dust buildup, but the Pro Honda Plastic Cleaner and Polish is more high tech than Pledge and almost $7 a can cheaper than Plexus. With UV protectors and anti-static capability, it does a better job of protecting whatever you apply it to, especially when using a microfiber cloth.

I have used it on my BMW GS windshield and helmet, making bug removal after the ride much easier. Its the only product I will use on my aircraft windshield after going the Meguiars and Pledge route.

I still can't believe my last spray can from the dealer for such a good product was $5.95. They sell the good performing Plexus, too, but why pay twice as much?

You can buy "mechanic's handcleaner" too, but Dawn dishsoap from the dollar store and a small scrub brush works just as well or better. Put the money and effort into gas and riding.

 

Thanks everyone just got a can . I hope to try it out this weekend at Glamis
if I can get away from stocking the shelves at the Glamis Beach store / SAND BAR
