Anti Fog for Lexan Windshield

[halfwitt]

As the temperatures have been falling the past week or two, there has been a distinct chill in the air. Makes for an invigorating ride! However, with the lower temperatures, I have found when I run through some spots with a temperature change, the windshield fogs up. This may have happened with my Suzi, I don't recall, but I looked over the top of the windshield so it wasn't an issue. Now though it can be kinda scary when suddenly your visibility goes to 20'. Has anyone found a good Lexan cleaner that will prevent fog?

some on this site have suggested RAINX, but I had no luck with it..... to solve the problem, I cut 2" off the top, so I can look over, issue gone, and it hasn't changed the aerodynamics of the bike...... my thoughts only. JOHN

Thanks John. Seems from the lack of response, there may not be any other solution. RainX is not recommended on Lexan. I do appreciate the input!

 

Ride safe.

I use something called ZOOKE Z-1 Anti-fog lens cleaner.

It comes in wax , liquid and spray. The spray is best for a windshield but may even be used on your glasses. I got this at the last bike show in Long Beach in 06. Great stuff bun not cheap!

 

try: www.zooke.com

I think I will order a bottle of Zoole and see how that goes. It doesn't specify Lexan but if you're putting it on your windhield, I'll trust you.

 

Thanks!

The spray bottle of Zooke I am looking at sais specifially ( Lexan and polycarbonate). Keep in mind that both of these materials are used for prescription lenses. If it's safe for them I would say it's safe for our windshields.

Hi, yep that windshield is a killer tain't it!! I am waiting on a custom tinted one myself, and may even have to work on that one. The safety issue with the tall stock windshield that comes on the new ventures is just that a safety issue. I do sometimes wonder about engineers with PHD'S and Doctorates..........Anyway, Rain-X is okay, do not think it will harm the Lexan, does say on some of the older Bottles , not recommended, do believe they have a product formulated for Lexan, has something to do with the surface tension of water on plastic versus glass......yea I know I am always looking for why!!! To make a long story short, I use Lemon Pledge for everything, I clean and wax the bike with it, clean the windshield with it, keep a good coat on it and it will shed rain, Lemon Pledge is good stuff, and cheep, buy it at the dollar store.
