When I am on the road, I want something that will quickly and safely clean a windscreen or face shield with a micro fiber cloth.
I normally carry a 7 oz can of Plexus in my tank bag inside a zip lock bag with a cloth. I have never seen anything that is as quick and safe as it is.

I just looked on Ebay and Amazon and they want $20 for a seven oz can! Price jump.

Has anyone tried this? Pro Honda cleaner and polish? It gets great reviews.

Does anyone else have a reccommendation for something that is quick and safe?

I agree with those who give it a great rating. It seems to leave a waxy surface that beads rain well. I use it, but I don't take it on the road. I use liquid (rated for plastic) from a squirt bottle on trips, because it takes less space.
 
Wait, you aren't using Honda Spray Cleaner and Polish already?! :eek:

I have tons of that stuff, it's magic. I have the 12 oz cans at home for doing the entire bike. You can spray everything but the seat upholstery. They also have little 4 oz cans which I carry when riding. I use it for cleaning the windshield and helmet visor.

I grab some when needed from the local Honda dealer, but here's an Amazon link for the little 4 oz can I mentioned.

Another trick to cleaning a helmet visor I do on occasion at a fuel stop or rest break is go into the bathroom and grab a sheet of brown paper towel or TP if that's all they have. Wet it, and drape it across the visor. Wait a few minutes as all the bug pieces reconstitute and simply wipe them away, then dry.

Thanks! I am too impatient to do anything but spray and wipe.🥶 Because of YOU, I will try Pro Honda!
 
OK..ordered the Cee Baily, the Novus, and the Honda to try. Comparo here I come!
 
I given the small CeeBailey to friends who carry on rides. I is small, has cap to keep for leaking and cleans bugs well. I also use the rain product, and it does a nice job in too (don't usually take that on trips). I had a friend who use RainX, which is not recommended for plastic. A good wax before a trip can make bugs easier to remove. I know unless is a deluge most look over the windscreen.
 
I've been using Pro Honda Spray Polish and Cleaner for several years. It's the best stuff I've found. I carry a 12-oz can in my right pannier on trips.

They're similar, but not exactly the same. Pull up the two SDS. I've used both, prefer Honda cleaner.

I have been using it for years after the original Honda Cleaner was pulled from all shelves here in California due to a chemical compound that is used in it. It has not been allowed back into my area since. My local dealer started carrying the Original Bike Spirits in its place since. I have no complaints regarding its results.

Also, for years I have been using this cleaner to get my bike periodic waterless washes from time to time. My bikes look clean and shine, while the terry cloth rag went from white to many shades of grey. It does a good job and it removes grease and grime with ease.

I have tried several cleaners and now use Maguiars Ultimate Detailer. It is hydrophobic so it sheds water. After you use it once, bugs come off easily. It is water based and non yellowing. I carry it in a small squirt bottle.

Regular Rain-X is a no-no but they do offer a Rain-X for plastics which works well.
