Default Windshield first aid

Boys, I've had some real light scratches on the windshield of my 1998 Dyna Convertible that have been bugging me. Riding intot he sun, they'd catch the glare and magnify the glow so to speak. I cold look through them OK...but couldn't help notice. Riding in the rain was when they bothered me the most..........figured I'd just have to live with it.

No More. I tried this stuff called Novus No.2 and dang!! It did an amazing job. I gotta say it's like looking through new Plastic again. Bought an 8 oz. bottle of the stuff for $7.00 on E-Bay. Best $$$$ I've spent in a long time.

There you go....my good deed for today.

I just put on a new windshield. I thought I was real careful, but once I got the windshield in place, I realized I put a couple of small scratches in it. Fortunately, down at the bottom, where you wouldn't normally see them.

I picked up a sample of Novus. Figured I'd try it too. Hope it works as well for me as it did for you.

Well if it works 1/2 as good for you as it did for me...you'll be smiling. I've had the bike out twice since I polished the scratches out...and I'm spending as much time admiring my windshield as I am looking through it.

You think the Novus No.2 worked good, follow it with the No.1 which is finer.
