Windscreen "staining" clean and Options Questions
«

November 06, 2008, 06:55:42 AM »
I have the 09 696 with the windscreen/bikini fairing. Well, after a ride and got home, noticed strange "staining" on clear windscreen only...thought it was bird crap (ok do NOT laugh), but it looks more like white paint stain and very odd as it is on outside AND inside, but cannot be "scratched off" whatsoever. Besides feeling a lil sabbatoged (sp?), I am frustrated with removing this stuff...I DID try non-acetone nail polish remover, but it did NOTHING!!!
So, anyone have ideas on how to clean/remove this SAFELY?
If not, did I see an optional windscreen, SMOKED in fact somewhere to purchase???
Thanks all!

if you could post some pix that would help a lot. Otherwise, you could try using some plastic polish and a microfiber cloth.

try a soft polish made specifically for jeep/ convertible soft windows.....?
then work your way up the abrasive ladder until you get results....

No not imagining, I have the same white spots on my S4RS. I don't know how they got there either. Since I don't actually look through it, I haven't really tried to clean them off yet. But I did get some plexi polish from Girot's garage

Meguiars plastic polish is good stuff.

I think it says Barracuda - if you like it, you might do a search?

I have 'em also. And for the exact reason stated above, have done nothing about it.

The S2R they show has a cool seat cowl that is not listed on their page.
