● For scooters equipped with a
windshield: Do not use strong
cleaners or hard sponges as
they will cause dulling or
scratching. Some
compounds for plastic may
leave scratches on the wind-

small hidden part of the wind-
shield to make sure that it does
not leave any marks. If the
windshield is scratched, use a
quality plastic polishing com-
