What do you use to clean your clearview windshields?

I have used Novus, Pledge and H2O and all seems to work good. Just got some ProtectAll and it works good also.

I use very hot water on a microfiber cloth to get the big gunk and bugs off.
Let it soak on the shield for 20 seconds or so.
Wipe with a clean microfiber cloth till dry.
Then use Novus 1 and buff with a microfiber cloth.

If there are bugs stuck to it I first wet an old soft tee **** and drape it over the clearview and pat it down wet and let it soak for 15 minutes, then soap and water with a microfiber mitt, then blow it dry with a yard leaf blower(as I do with the whole bike) I then use any of the many products above, I prefer Plexus. Clearview also states on their website that Rainex can be used on their product, but don't use it on a stock windshield.

When on the road, I use a product called Plexus. You don't need water - just spray it on your face shield, windshield, or anything else made of plastic and then use your microfiber cloth to wipe it off. Works very well. Here's a link to find it>>>>>>CLICK HERE<<<<<<
