Guest Dareman Posted May 21, 2008 Share #1 Posted May 21, 2008 One of the guys going on our cross country trip has an OEM Windshield (17")on his RSMV. He is taking Rain X in anticipation of the rain we will hit. I believe that Rain X is a No No for this Windshield. It will Blister it. Am I correct? What about the ShowChrome Windshield? Can I use Rain X or do I need something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalstarjac Posted May 21, 2008 Share #2 Posted May 21, 2008 RainX is not compatable with plexiglass or lexan. Don't use it. I use Plexus. Some people use Pledge furniture polish.-Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FtWorthCowboy Posted May 21, 2008 Share #3 Posted May 21, 2008 I have used Lemon Pledge on all of my bikes. Works great and is inexpensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibvel Posted May 21, 2008 Share #6 Posted May 21, 2008 Where do you find Plexus? Haven't had any luck in the auto parts stores. Usually at the bike or boat shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalstarjac Posted May 21, 2008 Share #7 Posted May 21, 2008 I get mine at a Motorcycle dealer/shop near here. Here's an online source. It's not cheap but a little goes a LONG way. I use about 1 can a year on my 2 bikes combined and I clean my windshields almost everytime I ride which is year round.-Jack http://www.superiorcarcare.net/plexplasclea.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedySteve Posted May 21, 2008 Share #8 Posted May 21, 2008 ...didn't read all the posts just saw this and do know from experiance that Pledge works. I use the premoistened wipes. My understanding is the aerosol is bad for windshields too because of the propellents. Use the pump or the wipes. SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD Posted May 21, 2008 Share #9 Posted May 21, 2008 I use pledge also on my bike, my question is that does any one use off brands like found at the dollar stores? I was just wondering if these would work as well. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteSquid Posted May 21, 2008 Share #10 Posted May 21, 2008 (edited) Use RejeX on the windshield, mirrors and paint!!!!!!!!! It was developed for the US Military for use on helicopters to keep the turbine exhaust from sticking to/corroding the airframe, and it works GREAT!!!!!!!!! http://www.corrosionx.com/gifs/Rejex.jpg Click the bottle above to go to CorrosionX’s web site!!!!! GET some by clicking HERE Or you might try your local True Value Hardware store!!!!!!!!!! I buy at least two bottles at a time to save on shipping. I use it on all my cages and bikes.... paint, glass, and hard plastics to include bike windshields and the headlight housings on my cages..... This is the BEST product I have EVER used, and I have tested MANY products over the years. This is GREAT STUFF!!!! Goes on easy, comes off easier and protects for a long time!!!!!!

hig4s Posted May 22, 2008 Share #11 Posted May 22, 2008 even though I now have a Clearview shield and can use Rain-X I still use Pledge wipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bar Posted May 22, 2008 Share #12 Posted May 22, 2008 I use Plexus as well, I've never found a better product. Cleans bugs as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
