FLITZ on HD windshield ???
I have a few small scratches on my HD tall windshield. The shield is rather new and I would like to remove or dull down the marks. I was thinking about using Flitz as I have done on my car headlights. I called the company and they said it was ok to use Flitz with the power ball on the HD shield, but did say to test it first on a small area...... LOL Just wondering, Has anyone tried this and how did it work out for you ?? Taking a road trip this weekend and don't want to screw up the shield before I leave.
Thanks in advance for all replies, Be Safe JIM

The windshield has a coating on it that kind of peels if scratched. I would take the windshield off, try it on an area that is not visible and see what happens. My guess is that anything abrasive will really screw it up.

I have never used it on windshields but just last weekend I found an old face shield that was in very bed shape. Just for the heck of it I got out the flitz and was very surprised by how well it cleaned up. I swear by the stuff on aluminium and brass but agree check it out on a small area.

Yep and that coating is a PIA. Once it gets started you're better off getting a new one.

I use Novus #2 on my stock coated shield works well, no coating removal issues. I never tried #1 or #3. Never tried Flitz.
