Windshield Question
#12
I wax my windshield so that rain beads up and runs off like with Rain-X. It also seems to make bugs turn loose easier. I wipe with a very wet microfiber to remove bug remains and follow up with a drier one to remove water spots. When water doesn't bead enough to keep the windshield clear in the rain, I apply new wax. If this procedure works on love bugs in northeast Florida, I bet it'll work for you.

I use a product called Purple Slice. Pump spray on, let sit for 15 sec. and bugs come right off ( be sure to only use a microfiber cloth ).
This stuff is amazing but pricey at $ 25.00 a pop. It is also the best product I have ever used to clean my bike between washings.
I sound like a salesman but I am the first to yell when something dosen't work. so I guess I should praise it when it does.

+1 on what dawg and leohd said. I like to keep a folded hand size towel in a zip lock bag almost to the point of dripping in the very front of my right saddle bag (stock head pipes). It gets really warm in there and does a fine job of helping to melt the bugs if'n ya leave it draped on the windshield for 5 or so minutes. Dry it with a micro fiber using an up and down motion versus a circular one. This seems to help make the inevitable scratches less annoying as they will be vertical scratches; horizontal ones seem to be much more noticeable when riding into the sun and oncoming headlights. Then finish with Novis or Plexux using the same wiping motions. YMMV!
