Re:Windsheild Cleaning 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago  
I've never heard of Pledge discoloring the windshield... Anyway, last night, I took my windshield off and went for a ride to see how it was.

On the positive side, the bike felt smaller, cleaner, and more maneuverable.

On the negative side, all I could hear was the wind roaring in my ears and every bug that hit me in the face felt like a grain of sand.

To hell with it... I went home and put the windshield back on.

The Plexus seems to be doing the trick but I still have that area from the McGuires that is taking it's time.

Get out the belt sander and slap some 50-grit on that thing. That should take care of it.

Plexus for me, makes the bugs easier to clean off too!

Re:Windsheild Cleaning 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago  
I have been using Pledge on the windshield for two years now, read it on a tech site in Cruiser Mag. This weekend coming home from Street Vibrations, ran into a Butterfly migration in the pines. Windshield turned yellow! Pulled into a rest stop and some fellows from Washington St. were using a spray wax on their windshields from Lucas Oil. Anybody heard of this stuff? It worked great by the way.

Re:Windsheild Cleaning 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago  
I'm pretty sure O picked this up here at the clinic, and it works really well.
I just soak a microfiber cloth in hot water, wring it out some and lay it on the windshield for a few minutes.
I then use a dry microfiber to wipe off the moisture and bugs.
Cleans it up great.
