RainX on windshield

[Bustanut joker]

Oh ***!! I have rubbed raw potato inside an outside my shields for 57 thousand years now..
I can't believe a petrochemical supported alternative works just as well...

And! I can eat the fuker if I get lost in Mexico chasing gay florists.

The more important question is...where are you going??

Myrtle Beach bike week by way of the Smokey mountains.

Use Turtle Wax or something like it. Just no compound type stuff or Zymol that has small abrasives in it. It all does the same thing: It fills in the small pits and imperfections so water can't stick to them and beads off.Easy!

This^^^^ is what I do as well. Non abrasive wax works great on the windshield and makes bug removal easier too.

Easy!

Yes. A good pure wax or even detailer spray (not as long lasting) works and I've never seen anything bad happen to my shields over the years.

I love my Plexus, but it is costly.

About $27.00 a can here at dealers and cycle shops here in California, ridiculous!

Great product, but I also balk at the price. But deals can be found on ebay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Plexus-Plastic-Cleaner-Protectant-and-Polish-13oz-/370717648051?pt=Apparel_Merchandise&hash=item56507e64b3&vxp=mtr

Rocky Mountain https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/942/23128/Plexus-Plastic-Cleaner-Protectant-and-Polish?term=plexus has a reasonable price also, if you get enough other items to qualify for free shipping.

Even cheaper than eBay, on Amazon.com with free shipping if the order is over US$35.00 total.

Cheers,

You will think I am nuts but I use multi-purpose pledge in the spray bottle and micro fiber cloth. I clean my whole bike with it. it's very cheap, you can get it anywhere. Because it's a hand spray bottle you don't find it like some cans still containing product but no propellant. I have a Cee Bailey windshield and a transitions face shield. I has not caused any issues and cleans the grime and bugs off nicely. I researched all the products as well. I wipe my bike down after most rides. don't use rain-x, great product on glass, don't use it on plastics. it will over time damage plastics.

Now lets get serious, won't my FJ melt if I use a Honda product on it

No, but it WILL start winking at guys dressed like this

 

[HotRodZilla]

Now lets get serious, won't my FJ melt if I use a Honda product on it :bad:

As Howie pointed out, it won't "melt." It may get fatter, slower and hotter though. So, the alternative is to go to your Yammi dealer and puck up a can of Yamalube Spray Polish and Detailer. Its black and yellow, and appears to be an exact copy of the Honda stuff, which doesn't have Honda's name on it anymore. I think it's now called "Pro-Polish," in the same black and pink can.

FWIW, as someone mentioned above, I carry a small spray bottle of quick detailer with me. Mostly for cleaning off my tank before I reinstall magnetic tank bag.

I use this and works great!But i will try the raw potato as Bustanut said

 

[RadioHowie]

Mihalis, you've spent enough time here on the forum to know better than to do ANYTHING "as Bustanut said" unless you REALLY like spending some quality "alone time" with some of the woolier residents of Mount Penteli.

I just about choked myself!

Mihalis my good friend, Bustanut joker is gemátos skatá in Greek and his favorite flavor is próvata skatá.

By the way Mihalis, I wouldn't try the potato trick but maybe Bustanut joker is on to something.
