Summer Cleaning Tip

Published by: Reggie on 18th Jul 2010 | View all blogs by Reggie

With great summer riding comes the less enjoyable task of cleaning all the bug guts off your windshield and front of your bike. Here in Iowa it's particularly bad this year due to all the rain we've experienced. I can't stand to look at/through that mess on my windshield so I end up cleaning it off after every ride.

I found that by soaking an old bath towel in water than drapping it over the windshield and front of my bike/headlight makes the job so easy and saves a ton of time. Press on the wet towel so it's stuck to the entire windshield. You might need a second towel to do the front of your bike depending on how your bike is configured or do the windshield first then use the same towel to do the front.  Let the wet towel sit about 20 minutes then just take that damp towel and wipe off the windshield and front. It only takes about 30 seconds or less to get all the gunk off with no rubbing or scrubbing. It really works great and it eliminates using sprays and cleaners that can sometimes harm your windshield or cause scratches. I then just go over it lightly with a cleaner designed for my polycarbonate windshield and I'm done in less than 2 minutes.
