You probably could use it with no problems, a lot of people do.
I use Alcohol a few drops of liquid soap and water in a spray bottle works great for me.
Care is needed so you don't scratch the plastic. I wax the shield after it is clean easier to remove the critters after coming home from arun

I've always used Lemon Pledge on my windshields. Works great plus that nice lemon smell is fantastic![sm=yikesomg.gif]

Pledge on windshields is the only way.

Another vote for Lemon Pledge.

After each ride, I spray Pledge all over the windshield and the front of the bike, then wipe off to remove the critters. Then I spray the rest of bike as needed. Takes five minutes.

I use Plexus, basically lemon pledge without the lemon, and about 4 times more expensive. Once this can is done though it's pledge for me too!!!

went to a seminar at he dealer, they not to use windex or any ammonia type cleaner it will eventually do weird things to the plastic. i can attest to that cause on my last ride used alot of windex made it look like the plastic was seperating.. now its mostly pledge plus it helps as a rainx.. oh ya dont use rainx either

So do people use Lemon Pledge on the entire bike??????? Sounds like some people are saying this.

Am I wrong?

So if I ride and there is a little dust on the bike and a few bug/guts on the front, Lemon Pledge is ok for the entire bike?????

Please set me straight.

Thanx
Mack
