RE: RainX for Plastic Windshields?
RainX was developed for use on plastic aircraft windshields due to no wiper blades. If your windshield is hazing it's because you are not polishing the RainX enough when applying. I've got 66K on my bike and the windshieldis clear. I'd bet a nickel that H-D protectant is furnished by RainX.

RAIN X has acitone in it that will haze the windshield, you need to us products that are syilicone based, such as pledge... that will RUIN your windshield

RE: RainX for Plastic Windshields?
Here's a product I pulled up Googling around. Rain Clear glass cleaner and rain repellent; "Use it on your bike's faring and windshield in case you run into an unexpected shower".

RE: RainX for Plastic Windshields?
Water beads up and runs off the windshield, floats in the air, then lands onmy face. Itches like a SOB. I wrap a bandana around my face then everytime I breath my glasses fog up. Rain sucks. I use Harley winshield treatment for cleaning and easier bug removal.
