I completely destroyed a windscreen with Goof off trying to remove a dealership sticker. I had ordered a new double bubble so it was an experiment that went really bad fast. Be careful with plastics and some of these removers. I used some rubbing alcohol on a greasy spot today that worked out and then quickly waxed it back up but I'm not recommending anything on a windscreen but soap and water.

homie, yowza! I use water on the screen too, and I bought a can of Plexus plastic cleaner, protectant and polish, that I've yet to use on my stock screen (with a microfiber cloth of course).

I have used GooGone on my plastics as well without any problems. I would hesitate using it on the windscreen though, as Homie might testify to, but the other plastics should be okay.

Aromatic naphtha(lighter fluid) is ok for cleaning glue as is Goo-Gone, or any other naphtha-containing solvent. These bikes are all acrylic paint. Gasoline works too, without harm.
