Visor Water Repellent

[Rabb]

I have tried a couple of these products and neither of them seem to work?
I carried out the instructions to the letter - but they don't seem to work for me!
Any ideas - does your one work?

Mr Sheen, better than rain X or any other water repellent products. Also lifts off the dirt before the cloth gets near it, stopping swirling.

Rabb, they're all a big con, I know cos I'm the idiot that has tried them all. Except Mr Sheen, thanks for the tip Mitch!

Also if your riding in the rain, a lump of coal in your botty, makes a nice diamond by the time you get home, with all the arse clenching moments :D

I put carnauba wax on mine

I use neat Fairy Liquid or the like. Rub a bit of that in and you'll find that the visor doesn't fog up so much :)

Yebbut, that's on the inside innit? Does work though, if you've no pinlock.

Every couple of rides or so I polish the outside of the visor with SDoc100 plastic polish - this makes the rain drops bead on the visor and run off with a bit of help from the wind. Also reduces the effect small scratches have with night vision. I have a Pinlock on the inside which I cannot recommend highly enough. As I wear glasses when riding I use Fogtech solution which is brilliant and lasts up to 5 days. I bought some for a tenner about 2 years ago and still have 3/4 of it left. You can use it on the inside of visors as well although I still find the Pinlock better :)

I have a Pinlock, it's impossible to make it mist up [smiley=thumbup.gif]

I researched this a few months ago. Got boring very quickly! Several people mentioned Me Sheen but there were some negatives - can't remember what they were now - possibly the chance of slowly scratching the visor? Anyway, after everything I read I bought a product called RainCoat. This has worked fine and apparently will never scratch the visor - time will tell I suppose. It was a bit pricey but 'price per wear' is miniscule as you only need a tiny amount of it.

Not riding in the rain helps... ::). But Mr Sheene works for me [smiley=thumbup.gif]

Good info cheers :)

'Divers' spit is good to stop the inside fogging :o but i use Autoglym visor cleaner on the outside which makes the rain bead on the visor and run off with the wind.
