This is just a shot in the dark but I'm hoping someone can recommend a good way to clean plastic and Plexiglas so that I can apply decals.

 

I'm worried certain cleaners will fog my plexiglass windscreen. Any suggestions?

Who's make is it, most manufacturers have recommendations on their websites on what's safe to use and if there is a problem with products like Rain-X.

 

On the road I just wet a towel and let it soak into the bugs and wipe it clean when I'm done putting fuel in the bike.While I have used it, I have heard that a water and a bounce sheet work well to clean off bugs but would shy away from that to apply something you want to stick well.

Hmm. Im thinking maybe 90% alcohol but I think i remember hearing that might not be good. I just cant remember.

White vinegar and water in a 1:1 solution.

I believe the there is a product called plexus you can purchase at local auto parts store.

Mc places online.

 

I have used a 3 stage kit from novus.

 

I would jus clean it with isopropyl.

 

Nothing with ammonia! It will cloud.

 

When aplying decals, use a soapy water solution in a squirt bottle. Apply to the graphic and surface. Use a plastic anything( to squeegee)

The soapy water solution allows set time to get it jus right.

 

If you are not careful you could end up with Plaxico.

Plexus. I use it on my Jeep windows.

Hands down plexus is th ebest out there for plastics, I have a whole case of it. But Im not sure I would use it before putting stickers on as it leaves a wax behind.

They make a cleaner for applying vinly lettering that removes dirt and wax.

I bought some plexus as per the advice here but the guy at the the store persuaded me not to use it as decal prep. Says it has wax in it.

 

Ended up using some distilled water and 91% alcohol as per the dealer advice.

 

But using it after applying looks great!!

I'm with MattH on this... 1:1 water/vinegar, and a crumpled newspaper.

The guy was absolutely right! Alcohol (even isopropyl) will clean and evaporate quickly leaving no residue. Plexus is a reconditioner and works great!

Umm someone already said that!!!

all i can say is DO NOT use goo gone, or goof off. That stuff will haze up plastics.

Yea, i guess you did. I was already out the door looking for plexus at that point though.

 

Props
