Windshields, helmet visors, etc. I only started because we use it on all the plexiglass windows on blackhawks.

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.

I've never done it, so I wouldn't know if it's true.
