Default Plexus alternatives
As you may or may not have noticed, Plexus is next to impossible to find these days. It seems during Covid they had some supply chain issues, and more recently have had issues sourcing some of the ingredients. I really like it on anything clear and plastic such as windshields and helmet visors. I keep a small can in my saddlebag for bugs, but I'm down to my last little bit. OTHER THAN LEMON PLEDGE, what are you guys using on these surfaces? I'd like something in aerosol form (I feel better transporting it).

In the other thread right below this one, a bunch of folks are using that Sprayway glass cleaner, ammonia free, for removing bugs with great results, and it’s very affordable. I’ll be trying it in the upcoming riding season.
