I will ask Frosty what he used on his plane.. (the Piper, not the KC135) .he likes a spray bottle of water and hydrogen peroxide.
Windscreen-face shield cleaner
- Thread starter Coyote Chris
- Start date
I've used Lemon Pledge and it works pretty well, but I think the Pro Honda Spray streaks less.
Somewhere I still have a small bottle of windshield cleaner that was provided with my Clearview windshield and never used. Conversely, I've been using
the Pro Honda cleaner/polish for eons and it works great!

+1 on the Meguire’s Ultimate Detailer. Gets everything off without scratching or fogging.

OK...the test is underway. I got the bottle of Novus first. My VFR was dirty from the last 100 mile ride as was the helmet and face shield. Bugs. I took a micro fiber cloth and sprayed both sides of the wind screen. one side with plexus and one side with Novus and took separate parts of the cloth and cleaned. While the plexus foams more and is fragrant, I can see no real world difference between the cleaning action of the two. I also cleaned my helmet and face shield. Then looked through each side of the face shield...no streaking or issues with either.
I use 303. Comes in a 2oz bottle and you can refill it from a bigger bottle. Kimtech wipes work well with it.

Hey I wander if that stuff would help protect the black plastic panels too?
It does, but i believe it is water soluble.
Pledge is great for bugs but there is a product you can buy at Walmart or O'Reilly's called 'Sprayway'. (next to the Windex on the shelf) its a foamy non ammonia window cleaner. Works great on anything. I even use it to clean the painted surfaces on my bike
I use to put that on my XR650 gators when I had them off. It was applied with a brush and allowed to penetrate over nite. Those gators were still perfect 20 years later. I also used it on the soft white plastic bodywork. One of those products that actually works as claimed.
Hydrogen peroxide - Go to the $1 store and buy Hydrogen Peroxide and a small sprayer. Mix the Hydrogen Peroxide 50% with distilled water. The mixture will dissolve bio materials. Just spray on your windscreen, visor, forks, etc. The bugs and residue will fiz up and start to run off. No rubbing, just wipe off. I have not found any warnings about reacting with other materials but I rise it off with warm soapy water or water just in case.
Today I used a small sprayer that I bought for another project. It worked great. Next time I will fill it with distilled water. (No water spots unless it is blowing dust.)

For scratches and plastic polish, I use Novus plastic products.

Got the Cee Baily and the Honda stuff to try today after Frosty and I returned from a nice picnic lunch at Fort Spokane on the Columbia river. No hostiles or open bathrooms.
Some buildings are still standing.

OK, did a quick side by side with the Honda spray polish vs the Cee Bailey spray......I want to re-do it as the Cee Bailey appears to be some sort of miricle stuff...comes out pretty much like Novus where as the Pro Honda spray is more like a foam, but man those bugs dont stand a chance...its like they arent stuck on at all.....
Visiting any closed state parks or campgrounds in California without a doubt will get you a $1,000 fine per person. Of course, if you are seen there by law enforcement.
Cee Baily's rain product is nice, works with the cleaner and maybe once a month you need to add it to windscreen.
In Washington, the State Parks and National Parks are closed. We were at a National Recreation Area that was open for day use but the campgrounds were closed. No funny business for us, but open bathrooms are rare.
This was a very nice 65 mile ride thru the countryside for a picnic. by the river on a nice day.
The Miles-Creston road just south of where you were is a good one. Some of my favorite roads are in the area from Grand Coulee down to Soap Lake. Even the line roads off Hwy2 are better than you would think.
May be awhile before I can get down there again. It could be months before they open the US/Canada border to casual traffic.

There was a sign that the national recreation area was open with the exception of the bathrooms and that the trails around the Fort were open for day use but the camp grounds were closed. Our gov is probably going to open up the state parks here in a week for limited activities. There is still a 1,000 fine for crossing into Idaho till the 30 of May.

There are two great Youtube vids about the Great Floods that formed this land. The Drive to dry falls is nice and is on our list, as is the Paulouse River falls. Kaslo is a very nice area. Frosty and I have been there for a BMW rally.
I just learned that the same mechanism that made the scablands here made the English Channel.

Need to gather more bugs for tests...if the gov opens up the parks, its down to the Palouse falls for Frosty and I.
