Default Rain X on windshield

I have heard that using Rain-X on the Plexi windshields will cause them to "milk up". Does anyone use Rain X on their shield or what, if anything, do you use?

I was told the same thing, so I have never tried it.

H-D sells a windshield treatment. It's a little bottle of towelettes that ya wipe the windshield down with. I use em. They seem to work as advertised.

+3 on the lemon pledge! It will get the bugs and grime off not only the windshield but the whole bike in no time flat and won't hurt it in any way. I've been using it for close to 10 years and have had zero problems with it.
