I'm a little paranoid regarding cleaning the stock windsheild on my new 09RKC. I've managed to (unintentionally) put tiny scratches in Lexan covering I put over windows on the house using apparent the wrong cloths to clean the Lexan. I did a search on this forum; seemed things leaned towards Plexus cleaner and microfiber applicators.
I DO NOT want to screw up this windshield. I'm sure HD can help in giving me direction but I thought I'd check with ya'all first.
I have the 10 inch Mar resistant from Clark's and I run some hot water on a cloth, ring it out, lay it on there let it melt the bugs, then wipe it off with a microfiber. No scratches thus far!
If mine gets bad I put it in the bath tub and spray it with the shower head with warm water, then let it sit for a few minutes. Use a microfiber cloth or inside out sock (thats in good shape) and gently go around the shield turning the cloth often while spraying it with warm water. You could even add a little carwash soap or bug remover spray I suppose.
Tkx! Lots of good advice & direction here! I ordered 13oz. Plexus Spray AEROSOL & one of their microfiber cloths a few min ago. I do have a few HD microfiber cloths in the garage. Should be in great shape.

Wow..That just reminded me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer installed a garbage disposal in the shower and prepared food while taking a shower...
I do as mentioned by other people using microfiber cloths and warm water...bugs come right off and no scratches.
