front windshield from scratching on his polaris ranger??

and what to clean it with??

Quick google search rendered, Plexus or Lemon Pledge. Don't use paper towels.

Amonia free cleaners ONLY. I use actually 60% water and 40% isopropyl alcohol.

Another tip after a good cleaning...wax with a very high quality liquid car wax. Better than Rainx could ever do (works on cars as well).

I also use only Microfiber clothes, no paper towels as mentioned.

I have been using pledge the Harley windscreens and Rhino we have for years. Works great

My pops has a windshield on his Honda Rancher and I buff it for him with a automotive buffer. Its pretty suprising how well it works. Takes out alot of the scratches. But yeah pledge works good and I have also used regular carnuba car wax and that works good as well. Seems to help prevent them as well.

+1 on Plexus. It was originally designed for airplane canopies, but cleans everything well. I touch up clean my motorcycles with it. Keeps the bug guts and tar from sticking too bad. Use a micro fiber towel!

Honda Spray Cleaner & Polish (I think it used to be called HondaBrite) is pretty much the same stuff.

cool!
thanks for the replies guys!!

i found some sliding door clear film at home depot
for $8,i think he's gonna put that on after he cleans it
to help prevent scratches..
..1 fella said he put his on in a few layers,when 1 would get
bad he'd pull it off..

There are kits out there for polishing auto headlight lenses.

What about the invisashields? They seem to protect a cars paint pretty nice. I know of a store that makes many custom pieces.

Plexus is great stuff I use it on my windshield for my motorcycle and helmets. Its great stuff. It is a bit pricey for the amount you get but IMO it is worth it.
