steveb74678 Posted June 7, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 7, 2009 Friends: I took a 600 Mile round trip last sunday to Ohio. When I left Virginia it had rained the night before and lots of water on the highway. Trucks blew by me and the mist seemed to collect on the windshield rather than sheet off like my former Memphis Shades windshield did. Anyone know any tricks for treating the windshield so the moisture sheets off? This moisture on the windshield made it difficult at times to see. I know that the manufacturer does not recommend products like RainX. Any and all ideas appreciated. Thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadhand Posted June 7, 2009 Share #2 Posted June 7, 2009 I wax mine. Have for years on all my vehicles. I have even used Pledge when I am cleaning the bike and have sprayed onto the windshield as well. No problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveP Posted June 7, 2009 Share #4 Posted June 7, 2009 WAX IT!! Pledge works, about any kind of wax. I use Pledge on the entire motorcycle, including the windshield. As a side note: Pledge contains no wax at all. The used to make a "Pledge with Wax" but I believe that has been discontinued years ago. It's the silicones in Pledge that give that slick feel that keeps the bugs from sticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted June 7, 2009 Share #5 Posted June 7, 2009 FW1. Fast wax Cleaner/Wax with carnuba. Once you start using it you won't use anything else to clean your bike and windshield and car, bicycle, or whatever. Just MHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave77459 Posted June 9, 2009 Share #9 Posted June 9, 2009 I thought I saw "don't get the lemon scented furniture polish", but that is all I can find in the store. Is it safe to use Lemon Pledge? I don't mind smelling lemony fresh for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Gee, we were all thinking it was your "sweet" disposition at St. Charles that caused that....:rasberry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bees and wasps already find my garage attractive. I don't need another reason. Thanks for the warning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
