with no wipers on a bike, do any of you use Rain-X?

 

If you use rain-x on a harley windshield in your future you will be buying a new windshield because rain-x will ruin it. Harley does sell a product similiar to rain x that is safe for there windshields but it is pricey,so to say again DO NOT USE RAIN X.......

 

To texas tom, how and or why does rain-x ruin the windshield? Aside from what we can purchase from the stealership what else might work?

 

Do Not Use Them On Sun Glasses!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had a friend who got smart, put em' on his shades. He looked real cool in the rain with his glasses off & rubbing the rain-X out of his eyes.

 

The original Rain X is for glass. It can not be used on the harley shields or Lexan. Rain X makes another product that is for plastic. Use that or the Harley stuff. Do not use the original Rain X on plastic items.

 

Lemon Pledge supposedly works well on HD Windshields. On my stock HD Shield I used regular old car wax and a very soft towel. Did not scratch it, and cleaned the surface enuff that rain (for the most part) beaded up and rolled off.

 

Thanks for the info

 

As stated above, never use Rain-X. I likePlexus. It's a great cleaner/polish, and once it's applied,cleaning bugs, etc. in the future is much easier. Plexus works great on helmet visors, too.

If you want to use rain x - you can on the above windshileds. I use Plexus all the time - I carry it in my tour pak and I use it on my helmet visor.

 

I used rain-x on my windsheild and almost lost it. I called the company and they told me to get a plastic polishing compound. Rain-x now has a product for plastic. There are some other very good products out for plastic windsheilds.
