Removing scratches from windshield

[LARK]

Stock Harley windshields are hard coated polycarbonate. Abrasives strong enough to polish a scratch will eat away the coating. The spot will look like peeled skin after a sun burn.

will the brasso metal polish work on a stock windshield and where can I buy it?

You can find brasso at just about any military surplus store. Have you checked a hardware store?

I have used it and was very happy with it. It worked for me.

Novus products work good on minor scratches and help to bead water when it rains, depends on how deep the scratch is Good luck

The Clearview windshield guy says to remove swirl marks and light scratches to use Plexus #3 to start with. Then follow that with Plexus #2. He recommends putting the Plexus on and slow buffing with a rotary buffing pad. He stresses that you must keep moving or you will burn the plastic. When done use a clean, soft old t-shirt and Pluxus #1 to clean and shine.
