Default Rain x on windsheild

When it rains the water on the windsheild does not run off and I am unable to see through it. Will RAIN X help or any other tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Pledge furniture polish seems to work fine for me. I've never been a big rain x fan though.

Rain X is a great product, but is not made for plastic windshields.

What about a good quality paste wax, basically the same as pledge.

Rain x might ruin your windshield, Harley makes some wipes that work good and are easy to use. You can also use them on your face shield, pledge also works well but i found the wipes are easy to store. Your windshield should also be set at just below eye level so you are not looking through it but above it.

+1 on Pledge works great and cheaper than rain-x. My wife bought the Rain-X washer fluid for the cages and it works pretty well. But I can't find the windshield washer tank on my Heritage...

Do not use Rain X on your windshield unless you like that milky opaque look.

I'm pretty sure the windshild washer goes in that little tank just under your seat. Go ahead and pour some in there, I think if you press the right turn signal and horn buttons at the same time it sprays. Keep us posted.

Cut a potato in two and rub it on the windscreen. That's what we used to do when the wipers failed
