rainx
Well it turns out that Rainx is damaging to a stock harley windshield. I guess I missed that in the manual. For those that I bothered with my question, I'm sorry. To those that had good advise and support, "THANK YOU ALL".
I used Novus 1&2 but it did not make it any better.
In defense, I had read many posts about using Rainx successfulyby members of this forum.

RE: rainx
I guess you hada bad experience with that HD windshield .. I have a ClearView windshield and this is what they say about RainX:
⢠Can be Polished, Buffed, and is Safe to use Rain-X Original Clear Formula
Just a "heads-up" for your next windshield purchase.

RE: rainx
there are 2 versions of rainx, one is NOT for use on any plastics, and the other is safe (i believe its in a blue bottle). before using any product, always read the cautions on the label.
so how bad did it screw up the shield? can you see it in pics? I always wondered what it would do.

RE: rainx
I know this sounds strange, but find a bottle of ORIGINAL Coca-Cola. Put some on a section of COLOR comics out of Sunday paper and wash the shield with it. Come behind it with a good cleaner. I don't know how it will work on plastic shield but it works wonders on glass. No I am not one fry short of a happy meal.
Can't promise anything as I have never tried it on plastic, but let us know if it works for you.

RE: rainx
don't know about rainx but I have used Pledge furniture polish on my face shield and on my windshield for a few years now and it seems to work with no problems popping up, but I guess I could understand your reluctance to jump out and try something after you have to buy a new windshield. Sorry about that with rainx, I to have heard bad things about it, so i never tried it.

RE: rainx
I had planned on using Rain-X on my stock windshield but didn't after reading the bottle. Will have to look for the Blue bottle and maybe try it.

RE: rainx
the magical lemon pledge works great for me. sheds the water, and helps get the bugs off while helping to keep them from sticking too bad when they do hit. Secret must be out, since the local Wahlmart is completely sold on on Lemon Pledge. damn, and all dem fine looking ladies who go to Wahlmart will be outta luck (Every wonder why Wahlmart has double swinging doors on the entrance? Something to do with the width of the customers?)
