Motorcycle Windshield Treatment Comparisons
- Windshields protect riders from bugs as well as rocks and trash. Remove any splattered insects from your windshield carefully so that they do not cause scratches. A simple treatment for bug removal is a hot wet towel placed over the windshield long enough to soften the bugs, before wiping them away.
- Cleaning the windshield regularly helps reduce scratching caused by surface dirt. Do not use glass cleaners with ammonia, which can be harmful to plastics. Treat the windshield with an ammonia-free cleaner such as Brillianize or Novus No. 1 along with a soft microfiber cloth.
- Over time, motorcycle windshields develop scratches that reduce visibility. This calls for a polishing treatment. Plastic polishes such as Novus No. 2 and No. 3 contain mild abrasives that rub out scratches.
