- Do not clean a plastic motorcycle windshield with gas station squeegees or use anything rough, such as paper towels, that can damage and scratch the surface. This can cause the windshield to become hazy, making it difficult to see in the sun or at night with oncoming headlights. You can purchase a Novus Travel Cleaning Kit off our website.
- Do not use glass cleaners or Armor All products. The solvents can damage some motorcycle windshields.

How do I keep my Clearview Shield Windshield Clean?
Cruising along, wind in your face, and breathtaking scenery flying by all contribute to the thrilling experience of riding a motorcycle. One not so thrilling aspect is the bugs and dirt that splatter across your motorcycle windshield. Knowing how to properly clean your windshield will help guarantee your ride with a ClearView ahead for years to come.
Begin by loosening up the dried on, splattered bugs. Soak a soft cloth in warm water and then lay it over the windshield. After several minutes, wipe the bugs away. Rinse and repeat as necessary.
To get your windshield clean, use a soft micro fiber cloth with a solution of warm water and a small amount of dish soap. Wipe away any mess.
Rinse your windshield with clean, warm water. Air dry your windshield or wipe clean with a soft micro fiber cloth.
If your windshield has any scratches, use a clean, soft micro fiber cloth with Novus Scratch Remover (available for both Fine and Heavy Scratches) or another high quality buffing compound that is safe for plastics. Buff the windshield by hand, using a fingertip in small circular motions until the compound beads off.
Add the final touch of polishing your windshield for a clean, shining ClearView of the road. Use a clean, soft micro fiber cloth and apply Novus Plastic Polish or a small amount of Pledge. The polish will fill any small scratches and help remove any leftover, dried-on bugs.
