the Original MULE windshield is 20 years old, and has seen better days. It's filled with tiny scratches. and it's foggy while day driving and hard to see at night with the lights on. Well, Novus 2 fixed that!

my windshield looks almost 99% new, i was astonished at the difference. i tried it on a small area first to be sure of no adverse affects, and then did the entire both sides of the windshield and it looks great! I highly recommend it, and it's way cheaper than plexi or Lexan sheet.

post some pics later.

+++100 or so on this--I have never used it, but a very good friend who bought a retired CHP 900 Kawasaki did--with EXCELLENT results--look's like new.--10 years with the CHP is NOT light duty...

Another question for the UTV Board populace, anyone know if a plexi glass hardcoat is available for purchase? 

I know They sell windshields with a hard coat to prevent future scratches but is it cost effective or even possible for a average Joe to do this?

AFAIK the "hard coat" is part of a manufacturing process, not some "after-the-fact' application--could be wrong about this though...

that's probably the case as i'm not finding anything.

After i did novus 2, a few days ago i went back over it with Novus 1 which is a spray, and not a paste. it's more of a polish/cleaner, (like windex for plastic/lexan) and i tell you what that stuff works great! looking out that windshield has never been clearer!

      Best UTV Windshield for Extreme Conditions
      By hetovi
      Hey everyone,
      I’m in the market for a UTV windshield that can withstand extreme conditions, including high winds, dust, and off-road impacts.
      I’ve seen a lot of options out there, but I’m unsure which one will provide the best protection and durability.
      Does anyone have experience with windshields that excel in these environments? Are there specific brands or materials you recommend?
      I’m particularly interested in options that offer both durability and clarity.
      Any tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

      2022 Hisun 750 EPS Overall very loud while driving
      By Roadstar515
      Just wondering if mine is the only one that’s seems very loud while driving. It just seems louder that other brands I’m use to. I guess you get what you pay for I’m assuming.
      Regards, Rick

      Kawasaki Mule Cab Eclosure
      By rsar
      So I finally got my Quad Gear cab enclosure after waiting out the backorder for three months and to say it's been a huge disappointment is a pretty big understatement. I think mostly because I could make it work, if not for one major issue. The windshield is right next to impossible to see out of. It's a real headscratcher because the side and rear windows are okay. It's not high quality 30 or 40 gauge marine vinyl but I have Quad Gear's stand-alone winshield so I knew it wasn't the best in terms of visibility, but definitely doable for the price.  Incredibly, the side and rear windows of the cab eclosure are just as clear as the stand-alone windshield. And the windshield on the enclosure is like 50 percent worse than the stand-alone. It's the same company! I don't get it. If it had just been the rear windshield that was that bad I would have kept it. There are some creases and wrinkles here and there, but I've been using the stand-alone  windshield for the past three months so it's good enough not to have to shell out $600 plus for the stock hard windshield. I'd put visibility at about 65- 70 percent. The wife hates it though, which is a pretty big negative. In any case, my original plans were to have an upholsterer change the crappy vinyl out for the high quality stuff and I even sent it to a guy who ended up flaking out on me and refusing to do it. He said he didn't want to charge me $400 for something I paid $200 for.  Long story, short, I decided to return it and just get the insanely expensive Kawasaki enclosure next winter since the frigid temps here are about to start climbing in a couple weeks anyway. I first put it on just to see how it would look (I took pics of course) and found that it didnt even seal 100 percent and made it drafty inside the cab. So make that two major issues. At least with the stock enclosure everything will be top flight. Doors will be nice too.
