Visor water repellant

[Rabb]

I know it's a topic thats been done to death - but I wondered what everyone else has tried ?
Has anyone found a magical substance?
That
1. Works - beads properly at lower speeds (20mph?)
2. Lasts a long time?
3. Doesn't damage the visor

I have tried using the following:-
1. Bike it stuff - lasts about 35 seconds
2. Mr Sheen - lasts longer but is silicon based and attracts dirt like flies to ****
and also 'stars' at night.
3. Genuine Shoei water repellant - didn't work at all
4. My newest idea Grangers footwear proofer - the best by far but it is water based so it doesn't last very long.

I think anything that works needs to have some form of translucent clay & wax base so that it smooths out the surface of the polycarbonate shield and adds water repellency at the same time?

Any ideas greatly appreciated - I'm sick and tired of using my glove every 40 seconds.

I have tried various things which I can't remember the names of. The only thing I have found that actually works and lets water bead off is SDoc 100 plastic polish.

Thanks Snowy - I'll give it a go (as it's driving me nuts at the moment)
Cheers.

No - what's it called - does it work? - Do you use it?
How do you get it?

It's the biggest rip off. I don't know what it is but I know it doesn't work!
I thought everyone had fallen foul of him at some point.
I normally use rain-ex

Thanks Wiltshire Builders.

Ive tried Rain-ex (not the pure one - the one with the in-built cleaner) it doesn't work but I might try the pure stuff now.
I know that rain-ex is not meant to be used with polycarbonates (as it makes visors brittle) but hey if it works I will be happy.
Has anyone used Salclear? - does it work?

I don't know if it does or not but I wouldn't advocate anything that causes your visor to become brittle

Didn't know that. I'd better find something else

Verified by speaking with Shoei and Rain-ex tech men
