I just did a quick search and the Novus Polish is approved for use on PlexiglasŽ and LuciteŽ acrylic products and on LexanŽ polycarbonate products.

Does anyone know if the product is available on the local market?

What about harley gloss are harley glaze, use both on my windshield with no problems so far. If i'm doing wrong let me know, don't want to mess up. The label says it safe on all harley surfaces including windshields. Just saying.

Old formula pledge was the greatest. New formula has a new propellant that is awful, leaves a dull film.

Novus. When washing the bike, drap a soapy wet towel over the shield while you wash the rest of the bike. It will soften the bugs and lessen the chance of scratching it.

I use Novus polish to get rid of scratches. The local Harley dealer carries it. Same stuff we use on our race cars to clean the lexan windshields.

When I'm washing my bike. I take the WS off and lay it flat with a wet towel on it. Just leave the wet towel on until your done with the bike. When you take the towel off, the bugs pretty much come right off. It works really well.
