Default Windshield problem

How do I take out a dull spot in my windshield? It's about 1 sq. inch.

I used toothpaste on a face shield & it worked good on that . Might work for a winder shield too. I have a piece of one I cut off. I will try it tommorow on it and let you know.[8D]

Meguiar's makes a windshield product called Plastic-X that works well. I've used it on my windshield and on my speedometer.

Hard to keep them shields looking good once they get scratched or something like you've got. I'm starting to sound like a Cycle Care Formula's (http://www.cyclecare.com) sales guy since I've suggested them on a couple of posts, but they make a good product (their Formula 3) that works really well if it isn't too deep. Works well on the rest of the bike too. Also Tulsa Enterprises (http://www.tulsaenterprises.com) offers a product (it's available other places too) called 210 Cleaner/Polisher that works great on windshields. If all else fails, Tulsa also makes a great after market windshield that's priced right and is excellent quality.

Meguiar's also makes Plastic cleaner and Plastic polish ( the cleaner is more abrasive ) which I've used on windshields and helmet shieldsfor over 25 years .

I havn't used their Plastic-X to see how it compares , but have been satified with most of Mequiars products .
