Plus it makes you feel like you're getting even when the little turds fizz up! Take that!! Then follow with Pledge, use two clothes, one to apply, one to shine......at least that seems to work best on black.

Do I understand you guys to be saying that you use Pledge on the windshield? I would think that would leave a waxy residue (i.e. a smear).

I steadfastly refused to have a windshield on my Sporty and am concerned about gunking up (a technical term) the shield on my RKC.

Use it all the time on my windshield, no build up, works great, and my windshields have remained crystal clear over the years.

Yes i also use it all the time on my shield....I spray it and let it soak into the bugs then wipe bugs off and follow with a new spray to clean and add what seems to be a rain shield coating.Works great...
Word of caution...I have read that guys have left cans in very warm weather in saddlebags and they have leaked. Never happened to me as im in Chicago and never gets that hot....Just an FYI!!!!
Happy Trails.... Tim.............o~`o.....................

I use it on my helmet visor also. It helps when riding in the rain.

Do you think the acid in the lemon may affect the chrome? My old chrome is sorta thin.

I believe that its synthetic (woot, we love synthetic! lol) scent, I dont think its actual lemon. I could be wrong tho.

I bought a can of Behold furniture polish cuz it was cheaper than the Pledge, seems to be the same stuff. Works great too!
