Default Windshield cleaner

Hey guys, I just found a real good windshield cleaner for HD windshields. It is called SprayWay glass cleaner and I got it at Walmart in the grocery section. It comes in a spray can and is a foam cleaner without amonia. Takes off Kansas bugs real easy, and leaves my windshield completely transparent. I don't know if it will work on other windshields, but works on my Harley windshield great.

You should use a plastic cleaner such as Novus

If you want to try some "good stuff" try some Plexus. Not only is it an exceptional cleaner for plastic, it penetrates (to the nano level) to repel rain exceptionally well.

You should be cautious of glass/general cleaners on plexi-glass and lexan... They can have some adverse effects over time.

Just my $ 0.02

Hope this helps

Best wishes....Tim(HT)

Been using SprayAway for over ten years, and on 3 different bikes.
Works great. I even use it on the paint sometimes, for a quick touch-up.

Hey arlinsg; Glad to see you have used it for so long without adverse effects. Found out it works great on chrome also. Made my windshield look better than new.

Also been using it for years, on my cars/trucks. It's safe on the tinted windows too.
And Yes, since I got back into riding, I use it on the bikes windshileds too.

But I like the sound of this "Plexus" That Harley Tim mentioned.

On a funny note, I thought that Sprayway was spelled Sprayaway like Arlinsg spelled it, been looking at that spelling for at least 15 years and always thought it was spelled SprayAway,,,, nope, SprayWay. lol

Spray way is the best glass cleaner I have ever used. It works great on windshield...no streaks, sparking clean and clear. I have been using it for years since I got it at Costco.
