I hit mine with the power washer when it needs it. Sometimes if there are alot of bugs, etc, i'll lay a hot towel on it for 15 minutes and then hose it off. Otherwise, i mainly look over the top of it anyway, so it doesn't bother me if its dirty.

 

plexus all the way

 

So my 5 years old windshield still looks new and all I've used is pledge? I had better cease it's use on my helicopter also.

What a load of crap!!!!!! Could it be they are trying to sell you their product?

 

Washing the bike I use a quite a bit of vinegar in the warm water to do the whole bike it helps reduce the water spots, remove the gritty road crap and helps lift the bugs (especially the really nummy looking green or yellow ones, they go great with the driveway beers). We are on a well and the water is a bit hard... I then use the lemon pledge and it has worked really well on all my bikes and not really sure how long I have been using it, seems like forever. Tried other stuff but it always comes out with that grimey coating. Some stuff seems to make the bike attract dirt and grime.

I used a bit of the stuff for cleaning my glasses on the windshield one really buggy year in the interior and it really worked on making the windshield unstick the bugs...?

great stuff for paint, chrome, winshields SS and around the house.

No i dont sell it! LOL just really works

 

Pledge and micro fiber cloth for me. I've tried just about all the other stuff and still venture off trying new ones as I hear about them. I usually end up disappointed when I try them even after other's rave about their favorite product. For cost and the best I have found for most all areas of my bike I still go back to pledge.

 

Plexus

 

I use a complex solution comprised of soap and water.

 

No, I don't get that impression at all. That page is 99% about what **NOT** to use, not about what they sell. IMO, what little marginal profit they make on a $6.50 bottle of 210 is just budget dust, nothing more.

Clean your crap with whatever you want - it's of no consequence to me. But if you were as smart as you obviously believe you are, you'd be using Permatex 403D on that helicopter, which is intended for aircraft windscreens, rather than something cheap and easy from the grocery chain, intended for your furniture.
