Re: cleaning plastic winsheild
Service writer dude at the stealership told me to use a new fabric softner sheet---wet it til it drips, wipe all over the windshield & bugs will come right off. Haven't tried it yet, but sounds interesting. Tracy

Re: cleaning plastic winsheild
R.Lewis, Good point. I knew in the back of my mind something said not to try, but that's what I was told. Next time I'm in there, I'll ask again. Tracy

Re: cleaning plastic winsheild
I use rain-x once a month on the outside of my windshield ,coat it twice,let it dry,rub it off. Not only does the rain bead away but when I fill up I use the gas station squeegy to wipe nmy windshield and it doesn't scratch. In the fall I use fog-x inside the windsheild and it keeps the negative pressure from fogging it up

Rain X may work for you but have seen it be a nightmare for others and leave stains that will never go away.. Harleys OEM Windshield states plainly on it Do Not Use Products like Rain X |

Re: cleaning plastic winsheild
Just wanted to make sure I understand this correctly before I try it. Spray can Pledge is what you are talking about Glider? This is ok for all types of plastic windshields? I've got a stock hd windshield on my Wide Glide.

Yes, spray can pledge, I use the lemon one
Been using it a long time and the bugs just don't stick to the shield. A spray of a little more to clean it and they come right off.
