IMPORTANT CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Memphis Shades Windshields and Lowers are made of
Lucite® acrylic, and will last for years with proper care.
Clean your windshield with plenty of soapy water — mild
dishwashing liquid is best — and a soft cotton cloth. Use your
bare hand to feel and dislodge bugs, or cover with a wet soapy
towel and let it soak. Don't use paper towels and don't scrape
with anything. Small scratches can be removed with NOVUS
# 2.
NEVER use any glass cleaning products, petroleum based
chemicals, or cleaning agents with ammonia, bleach or any
other harsh chemicals. This includes (but not limited to)
RainX, brake fluid, acetone, paint thinner, benzene and
gasoline. "If it hurts your nose, it will hurt the plastic."
Glass cleansing agents will cause severe damage
to your windshield, and will void your warranty.
NOTE:
At certain times of the day the Sunlight can reflect
off the curvature of a windshield and cause extreme heat
build-up on motorcycle instruments and instrument panel.
Take care when parking. Park facing the sun, place an opaque
object over the instruments or adjust the windshield to avoid
reflections.
