| YIKES!! After a nice ride on a warm Florida day my girlfriend was dismounting from the rear seat and lightly grazed the right cover under the seat with her shoe, the metal eyelets left (seemingly) deep white scratches across the cover and C50 emblem, Later that night after several ice packs on my forehead and calls to a radio talkshow psychiatrist for therapy I decided to see they could be buffed out. Luckily a little rubbing compound and elbow grease removed the scratches entirely, (Good thing, I think she was getting tired SK |

| Forensic Bug Splatter Analyst. ![]() | My Gixxer has a few scrapes that need to be buffed out too! Yes, I know it's not a cruiser but send her over anyhow and see if she can buff them out too! Glad to hear it buffed out. Those are the things you remember !

| You are right about not using Windex or any glass cleaner on your plastic (Lexan probably) windshield. Most bike shops sell plastic windshield cleaners that will do the job. Usually Meguiar's ($10.00 +or-) or Slipstreamer ($7.00 +or-) Both work real well and a bottly will last a long time. However in my not so humble opinion the best value in windshield / face shield cleaner is.....gasp!.... Lemon Pledge. I have used it for probably thirty years with great results. I keep a can in my tank bag for cleaning shields on the road and one or two in the shop. Pledge also works great as a wax on plastic bodywork. |

| http://www.protectall.com/ also does a great job cleaning and waxing these types of parts. I've been using it for years with great results.
