Hey all!

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.

Tkx!!
Doug

I use non-ammonia glass cleaner and microfiber or cotton. Either one will be fine as long as it is reasonably clean.

I have used Plexus cleaner and microfiber for years on my windshield.... no problems.

Avoid paper towels or dirty cloth / microfiber.

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.

Tkx again!!

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.

Its generally the dirt that does the scratching, just make sure you wipe it off vs. rubbing it in.
