    Clean a heated font windscreen

    Hi

    Does anyone know what to use to clean a heated windscreen? I havent cleaned it because I dont want to ruin the elements. My dad did it once and ruined it.

    Thanks

    How bad is the dirt build up?

    If it's just a bit of grime then use a decent window cleaner and some kitchen roll, wipe over gently, DON'T scrub!

    Would sugar soap be too aggressive? That shifts most muck, but that's no help if it shifts the element too.
