Why maintain your motorcycle windshield

Are you a motorcycle enthusiast and want to keep your windshield sparkling? You're right, a well-maintained windshield is essential for your safety and riding pleasure. At Antre du Motard, we have all the tips and products to help you clean your windshield like a pro!

Prepare for cleaning and gather materials

Here's our 5-step method to clean your motorcycle windshield like a true professional:

Start by choosing a shaded and clean area to work in. Lay out a large sheet or tarp on the ground to avoid scratching your windshield. Also gather all the essential products and tools:

• A bucket of lukewarm water
• A gentle car soap
• A soft sponge
• A microfiber cloth
• A plastic polishing product
• Protective gloves

The 5-step method

Start by rinsing your windshield thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove dust and the roughest dirt. Avoid dry rubbing, as you risk scratching the plastic.

Dip your sponge in soapy water and gently clean your windshield with circular motions. Focus on the dirtiest areas. Rinse your sponge regularly to avoid spreading dirt.

Once washing is complete, rinse your windshield thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue. Then gently dry with your microfiber cloth by dabbing gently, without rubbing.

To give your windshield a new and shiny look, apply a small amount of plastic polishing product with a soft cloth. Rub gently until the product is well distributed and your windshield regains its original shine.

And there you have it, your windshield is like new! Repeat this operation regularly, at least once a month, to keep your motorcycle in perfect condition.
