RE: Windex!!!
I would not use any high PH products on my ride. It might look good for the short term, but it will remove all of the wax. Glue line removers use citrus products to break down both solvent and water based glue lines, so why would I want something that harsh on my ride?

I've used Windex on the chrome for years. So have the dealerships, but they won't tell ya. The HD, S100, etc. makes them $$$.
The guys that did all my powdercoating suggested Pledge for the powercoated surfaces. It works GREAT!

I have a buddy who carries the pledge wipes in his bike & uses them all of the time. No rag necessary. I am getting some before this season.

RE: Windex!!!
Used windex Saturday to clean things up before I applied Nu Finish® Scratch Doctor. To take out some lite marks I put in the clearcoat when wiping off moisture from condensation. (Duh)
