How do you clean a mirrored shield?

I've always used some type of a spray wax with a microfiber towl and works great. Also helps to keep them from sticking as bad also

Get rid of the pledge. Microfiber and Water ONLY. That coating does not like chemicals. Use hot water to soften up the bug goop....You are still only gonna get about 6 months out of a shield; rock chips will eventually get it messed up anyway.

What I do with my mirror finish shield is to wet a paper towel and stick it on the shield for about 5 minutes and you don't have to do any scrubbing... just use the same paper towel to do the initial cleaning and use a dry paper towel to dry/clean the shield. Works great for bug splatters. I've used this method with my shields and they last a good year or so until I have to replace because of pits and stuff from road debris. I haven't had any problems with the coating coming off from this method.

I like helmets... It saved my butt... uh... face a few times. This is one of those times.

I kinda feel sorry for some of you that live in states where its mandatory to where helmets.
I love the choice, I think we should all have a choice.
Helmets are probably a great thing to have if you crash but many who crash is contributed to wearing helmets= poor vision, fog visor, heavy.
I have seen more deaths and they were all wearing helmets.

great idea squiddy ! lets all roll down the highway and get those bugs on our faces, in our hair and eyes. I think I'll stick with a helmet I haven't heard of any news story or report given or study done that says certian crashes are attributed to poor vision of a helmet or helmet was too heavy. where you been hidin the 70's my helmet weighs roughfy 3.5lbs and I have full range of vision. I tried on one of those harley half skull cap things one time and it felt like I had a lead hat on lol so I'm sure helmet weight varies with brand and I'm not arguing with ya just pokin fun and jokin

warm water and microfiber only. always works great. never soaps or windex as it removes the coating off. never scrub. never use paper towel. microfiber's the way to go
