The common types of motorcycle windshields are made from polycarbonate plastic or Plexiglas also known as plastic. These materials are very popular because they are light, affordable and can resist breaking unlike the glass type which is easily broken. Though the polycarbonate is safe, it is not possible to clean it like glass. This is because it can get scratched or become dull. Plexiglas on the other hand requires proper care when cleaning to avoid scratching or premature clouding. To get good results after cleaning, the right method and material should be used as well as the right type of motorcycle windshield cleaner.
