M61A1MECH Posted June 30, 2013 Share #2 Posted June 30, 2013 Rain-X is not recommended for plastics, will cause yellowing and possibly crazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrycuda Posted June 30, 2013 Share #3 Posted June 30, 2013 +1 on what Steve just said. I had rain X on for ONE day until, DHJ3/Dion said nope... I quickly took it off. Members have used pledge, wax and other assorted items, but the rain X on my shield just started to have an itty bitty spot of hazing and separation of the coating. If you still have it on, my recommendation is to remove the rain X ASAP to preserve your shield. On the forum search,nook up RAIN X and read the posts...

kantornado Posted June 30, 2013 Share #6 Posted June 30, 2013 I use Turtle wax on my windshield, when I'm waxing the bike I mist some on the windshield and wipe it on. Helps with the bugs too! The wax is in the spray bottle so its easy to put on and I use the mico fiber towels very soft. I have used Meguiars as well as other brands as long as its in the spray bottle. It just comes down to your preference........Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
