Cleaning Instructions for a POLYCARBONATE Golf Cart Windshield:
The first thing you must know about cleaning a Polycarbonate golf cart windshield is that this is not the same as your care windshield. If you think you can just throw some Windex on this, wipe it off and be done, you could ruin your windshield.
- Rinse your golf cart windshield thoroughly, make sure that all of the dirt and mud is off of the windshield
- Using a microfiber cloth, clean the windshield with a very mild soap. (dish soap or baby shampoo)
- When you are done cleaning, you must rinse the windshield thoroughly.
- If you let the windshield sit and dry you will get water spots.
- You can use a chamois and blot the windshield to eliminate water spots
- DON’TS: If you use a dry towel to clean off the windshield before or after washing you can scratch the windshield. Using strong or abrasive cleaners will also damage the windshield. You do not want to scrub or scratch the windshield with any type of material, as this will cause scratching.
Cleaning Instructions For a ACRYLIC Golf Cart Windshield:
Remember that when you are working with an acrylic windshield, it is also referred to as a plexiglass windshield. Therefore, if you decide to use a cleaning product of some kind, make sure it is safe for plexiglass.
