 I bought this bike a month ago and every time I ride the windshield has a rainbow of colors like it has soap scum on it. Sad I have tried to clean it with vinegar but it didn't touch it. I have cleaned it with hot water and then put some windshield cleaner for Plexiglas but that didn't work ether. Angry Does anyone have any idea to help me get it clean?

I use nothing but Joes Juice on mine (no wet wash).  Joe the Tri Cities chapter leader in Michigan is a distributer go on the Michigan site and you can get a hold of him there, it is the best thing I have seen to clean your bike. cooldude

Try warm soap and water, nothin fancy.

Plexis and other so called special cleaners will do that if you don't use them right.

Wipe the spray off with one towel and then wipe it off again with a clean towel or it will

Rainbow the Crap out of your windshield or what ever you are cleaning.

but Soap and water over time will fix the offending item.

Yep... I happen to love polarized lenses in my riding glasses to protect my eyes from UV (I am light sensitive), but sometimes the type of lenses in your glasses makes rainbows in the shield or other smooth surfaces.  However, my polarized lenses remove the gas cap reflection on the inside of the IS shield I see with my other glasses. Hmmm

look at it VERY closely. could be scratches from sombody using what thery weren't supposed to.

look at the shield for a name, honda, memphis, slipstreamer, etc.

go to that website and find what they reccomend to polish the sheld.
