I also use pledge for all of my clear plastic. Windshields, helmet visors, etc. I only started because we use it on all the plexiglass windows on blackhawks.

Pledge or WD40, whichever can falls to hand. Neither one is made for plastics, both work. But the windshield has to be beyond disgusting for me to consider washing it since I have it set correctly. I look over it, not through it. It can be filthy as a pig rolling in a wallow full of cow pies, makes no difference.

I never knew about Pledge and will have to try it. One of the miracle cleaners I use and love is Soft Scrub. I use it a lot to clean the plexi windows in commercial popcorn machines. I bought thirteen of them from Extra Mart that hadn't been cleaned in years, you couldn't see through the windows from the oil build up. They looked like new when they were done. Not saying I'd use it every wash but It it had some tough bugs, it will get rid of them.

This thread has made me nervous! I clean the face shield on my helmet with hot water and toilet paper. Should I stop NOW? Is Windex bad?

If it works and doesn't scratch then it's just another method of cleaning it.

I have been warned that cleaning clear plastic with Windex can cause it to fog over. I've never done it, so I wouldn't know if it's true.

I haven't done it yet but I've considered it. I think I'll stick with hot water, toilet paper and a very light touch.
