Great windshield tip courtosy of Jeff (oldwrench1960)
Written by boysrus_racing on 7/3/2012 at 03:45 am

Great idea. I have always used Plexus (sp?). A friend with an airplane that
has THOUSANDS of dollars of acrylic windows taught me much of what's been said
here including "wipe one direction, preferably vertically". Plexus seems like a
lanolin that doesn't evaporate until you start wiping it off. Softens the bugs
so they come off easily. Turn the cloth often!

or so.) When you return the bugs simply dab off. No rubbing, no scratching!

easy that I am going to continue that practice. Jeff finishes with Novus 1. I
will finish with Plexus until my can runs out and then likely make the switch to
Novus 1 as well.

I also know that this "used" rifle appears as new so Jeff must have something
right;-)
