Windshield cleaning?
 
Can anyone recommend a product to clean our golf cart windshield and where to purchase it?

Easy
 
Vinegar & water. Nothing with ammonia or alcohol.

I use Windex without ammonia with a mirco-cloth. We use the same thing on our laminate flooring.

EZ-Go has this product:

Foaming Polish and Protectant for Windshields and Plastic Windshields.

Part #606314

"A clear cleaner and coating specifically formulated for use on utility vehicle Plexiglas and vinyl transparent surfaces."

I'm thinking the salesman at VGC store told us to use Pledge. I'll have to double check. Also to use a VEERRRYYY soft cloth, something like the oldest most worn out T-shirt you have.

Don't use a paper towel!!!

There's also a product called Plexus that's for plastics, acrylic, Lexan, etc. You can generally find it at places that cater to motorcycles or boats - perhaps other places as well including online. It's not inexpensive but it's good stuff.

Another suggestion: If your windshield is really dirty, it would be best to wash it first then use a plastic cleaner to finish it up. JMHO..... :)

We always us white vinegar and water to clean windows, windshields etc. Other products leave residue and will show streaks as well. Just my humble opinion. Oh...and newspapers to polish will leave it all spiffy!!!

I use the cleaner/polish they make for airplane windshields. You can buy it at any small airport. It is made specifically to cause any rain to run off and not bead up. So any water or rain will leave you with a very clear windshield. It is made for plastic type windshields.

WASH!!! That's a 4-letter word!! I'm surprised it didn't wind up ****.

Just kidding. I know it should be ****ed first.

Years ago when I used to ridce a motorcycle, there was a product put ot by Macguire's (I think) that I used to polish out scratches and clean the windshield. Anyone know if that stuff is still around?

Yep, just Google "meguiars plastic polish" - they have several different products for plastics.

We've been successful with pledge and microfiber cloth. That was the recommendation from TV Golf Carts when we bought ours.

Timely thread, thanks. I was in the process of ordering a new windshield for my Club Car as the previous owners scratched it. The scratches are circular which tells me it happened during cleaning, maybe a rough cloth, who knows..... The scratches make it very tough for night driving.

I will first try one of these polishes.....

Bill - I put the *'s in myself.
