Coatings

Hey, guys..

Replacing windshield on my 98 Ultra. Gonna get polycarbonate clear.

Question is, are there any coatings, ceramic or otherwise, available to prevent scratching I can put over it that any of ya'll use and have experience with?

Thanks. Ken

Thanks

Poly carbonate shields are coated already. Just don’t use glass cleaner on it. Ammonia and alcohol do no favors to this material.
I generally use dish soap and water. If there’s time I’ll soak it with a wet towel first.

An old wet t shirt has done well to soften bug guts.
It's thinness lets lay flat all across the shield

I’ve replaced mine with Lexan. Super tough and like the above say,soft cloth.I’ve used CRT screen spray which gives it nice smooth feel after just water.
