6. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the clarity of your polycarbonate windshield.

6.1 Cleaning

• Use only mild soap or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner and lukewarm water.
• Apply with a soft, non-abrasive cloth or sponge.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots.
• DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, brushes, or harsh chemicals (e.g., ammonia-based cleaners, window cleaners, gasoline, acetone) as these can damage the polycarbonate and its hard coating.

6.2 Scratch Prevention

• Avoid wiping the windshield when dry, as dust and dirt can cause scratches. Always wet the surface first.
• Store your motorcycle in a way that protects the windshield from accidental impacts or abrasions.

7. Troubleshooting

• Issue: Windshield appears cloudy or dirty.
• Solution: Clean the windshield thoroughly using the recommended cleaning procedures (see Section 6.1). Ensure no residue is left behind.
• Issue: Scratches or hazing affecting visibility.
• Solution: Minor scratches on polycarbonate may sometimes be reduced with specialized plastic polish kits. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.
