So really, it looks like it's on the inside, so I'm definitely on the same page!... but it wouldn't make much sense. Unless it went through the screen and somehow formulated on the other side. However, just to test it out, I tried cleaning the underside too. No luck. The mystery will live on.

So, my conclusion is... it's just some weird stuff that I can't fix completely. I took the machine to it yesterday and I feel like it's not as messed up as it was, but it still looks weirdly stained. It's the weirdest. It just bothers me because I really have no idea what it is.

Tried the goo gone, no luck. Hand scrubbed with orange pad and white pad and not so much luck. Going with the machine tonight! Hahaha!

Annnnnd the goo gone didn't do much. Last ditch effort, here I come!

I want to say residue.. but could be a combo of both. I'm honestly just confused on wtf happened. The feel of it says residue as it doesn't feel scratched, but the fact it isn't budging with any sort of cleaners/products makes me think its scratches. It just also shows like.. droplets that won't come off.. so it doesn't make sense to just be scratches. You can see that in the pic very fairly in the top right of the windscreen.

Thanks dude! To be honest, the BMW has so many gadgets and safety features, it's probably the most user friendly bike I've ever rode on, especially for it's size. I'd think a GSXR 1000 would be way scarier, considering it's lack of ABS, traction control, etc etc.

That's what I've been thinking, that maybe there's some sort of solvent.. But now it's not wiping or anything. I'm going to polish tonight! As for the double bubble screen, BMWs screen goes for over 250 bucks. Haha

Definitely! I'm still kinda weirded out it happened at all.

I did try revive and it didn't budge. Looks like I'll get out the polisher and go to town! Thanks everyone!

I'd almost say its stained.

So, it's weird. I used detail spray as a lube and the rest of the bike looks great. No marring or scratching. So, I don't think it was the bar. I was trying to google and figured out sometimes claying plexiglass can be weird? It's the craziest. Oh and yea. Just that general area, as when I looked at it as I was going I was like "wait wtf?"

Hey all! So, I recently got a new motorcycle and the time had come to give it a good claybar and wax. Well, I messed something up. Right when I claybarred the windshield, something happened. It looks like I marred it, but when I rub my hand over it it doesn't feel scratched, as much as it does that the clay residue somehow has gotten stuck to it. However, when I scratch at the marring, it doesn't budge and/or feel like a scratch or anything. I've taken a bunch of different products to it and it looks like it's not coming off. Here' a pic, but even this just looks like a scuff and not what it actually is. How could a claybar do this? So weird. -Jim

I'll add my 2 cents here, as I love beer... a lot. One of my favorite local breweries in Vegas right now would be downtown at "Banger Brewery." They are all over the map with a few Hefs, IPAs, stouts and American Pale Ales. If you get the chance in Vegas, skip the strip and head downtown to their place. I'm a huge fan of the Van Damme, a Belgian blond.

I'm going with hand soap..... because I need hand soap.

Looks great! Totally unrelated, I think it's weird chevy decided the bottom of the doors doors don't need to line up with the fender lines.

So familiar sounding! I finally slowed down... after about $1200 worth of stuff... and I still want the flex bundle...

Welcome! Let the madness ensue.

What I've learned... 98% or bust.

Good to hear from you. I watched one of your videos while having my go at it. I'm getting the hang of it, but still get hesitant around weird curves. I could tell I started to get frustrated after the white microfiber pad and had to walk away before I made a big mistake with the orange microfiber. Haha I felt like the car had a harder than normal clearcoat, but I of course have no reference. It didn't budge much though with the foam pads, at least with my current form! Yea, the changes they made in 2015 I'm a huge fan of... however, I hear from a lot of prior challenger owners that they felt like the new one is getting away from the vintage styling (LED tail lights, halo headlights etc)... but whatever. I still love it. Indeed! The support here is awesome. One final question on this topic. The trunk of the challenger sort of lips up when it reaches the back windshield and was wondering, since it lips, should I be hesitant when polishing up it? I didn't go to the edge, as it's obviously thin there, but was concerned that since I can't necessarily keep the polisher flat (since it lips up a bit) would it just scratch it? Is it better to approach it head on, or from the side? Sorry, full of questions...

Sweet. Thanks! I have no source of reference as this was my first car to cyclo and also with it being black, I have no idea what acceptable is for the pads/polish I'm using.

Don't tempt me. Hahaha

It was paint finishing on white microfiber pad. Good to know. I last used the microfiber and never went back over with white fiam pad. It seems fine now, but last night with the camera flash it was showing up as that. I detail sprayed the hell out of it. Haha Got it! Thank you! It was fun to play with the cyclo, for sure. Do you guys find yourself using the microfibers often? It felt like it just wasn't cutting much with anything less. Do you guys put much pressure down on the cyclo? I really wasn't, besides a slight push just to ensure it doesn't go skipping around..

You have a point with the microfiber restore. I'll buy a few gallons. Hahaha. Also, don't know if serious about VRT. Hahaha

Good stuff. Thank you sir. Random question that I was asking myself last night that you may be able to answer. Why does my corrected paint look more dull than the spiderwebbed taped off portion? It didn't look like it this morning in the sunlight, but I was wondering why it looked dulled, when it was freshly corrected. Polish residue?
