How to clean a windshield

I have a stock windshield in need of a good cleaning. What do use to get the grime off of it without scratching it? Thanks.



Plexus makes good plastic polish products. I use a product called Dry Wash/n Guard. Waterless wash & Glaze. It works well on all surfaces. Glass,plastic,paint,chrome,vinyl , leather, rubber....... DO NOT USE ON SEAT,PEGS OR GRIPS!!
 
That is what I use but a friend swears by Lemon Pledge since is is easier to find and much cheaper. I bought his 5 year old scooter and the windshield looked new. He says only Lemon Pledge works (and he uses it on the other plastic).
I'll ad this caution : as Pledge has silicone there are some of us that don't want silicone around their painted surfaces so beware of overspray with Pledge. I keep an asst. of AB polishing compounds around & any of the finer polished work fine with a WS for buffing. I use the same pad as for final paint buff jobs.
You can also use micro wet papers-like 1,000-2,000 grits to remove deep scratches if your willing to work through all the steps toward a final polish.

No overspray, the Pledge is sprayed on the cloth, then the windshield is wiped.
