Anyone use Rainx on there windshield?

 

[Shrug]

I use it on my Clearview, but they specifically mention that it's OK to use. Other manufacturers don't recommend RainX on their plastic.

as scot sed rainx is OK with clearview , they state that on the website ..

definetly do not use on the HD windshield , will put a haze on it , ask me how I know this ...

I went on a ride yesterday and got caught in the rain twice. It felt great as I needed to cool down by that point - but the visibility from my stock clear shield was HORRIBLE. I'd love to put RainX on the thing but I don't want it hazing.

Are the Clearviews the only shield that you can apply RainX to?

Thanks guys -

Tim

HD makes a windshield water repellent that is safe to use and works good.

AWESOME. I had no idea - I'll be picking some up before my DC trip on Tuesday!

Used it once on my '99 RG and did not work very well. After the second time it got wet it was like I never applied it. I will not use it on the '11 RGU, I may however use the H2O repelant made for lexan shields.

I'll have to look that stuff up - who makes it?

Pass on that. That's retail plus 9$ in freight. It's cheap enough that I would just buy at your local dealer. Even the best deal plus freight would probably be more than just stopping in at your local HD

 

[brhodea]

Thanks brother, be at my local tomorrow.

RainX is great if you use it on what it's intended for, but not so much on other things. Some H-D shops carry Rejex, which works fantastic on windshields and other parts of the bike www.rejex.com and I'm also pretty pleased with Purple Slice http://purpleslice.com, again available at some local dealers. I use both products and would recommend both.

I just use wax. Turtle Wax to be exact. Works great and seeing as I'm OCD and clean the bike constantly, I just do it then.


Already have lots of it so no added cost.

Damn, I thought of trying that but I didn't know if it would harm the Lexan. So I just went and dropped $7 for 10 HD wipes, LOL. If wax works, I'm all over it - have you been in the rain with your waxed windshield? Did it bead water well? Is there any hazing or distortion when looking through it?

 

[Justice1]

I use wax on mine also, never had any issues. It's an 8 inch Klockwerks,

 

[cestaro]

when i wax my bike i do all lens also

Use turtle wax ultra liquid, all over the bike, no residue. Works great!

3m makes a repelant that will work on Lexan. Can't remember what it is called. I have it on a car and it works great have not tried it on a bike yet. Its not cheap.
