Rainex, most bike shops will carry something for the job, or raid the kitchen for a potato, cut in half and rub that on it!!! yep it does work.
Rainex is prob best tho, think u can get them in wipes now.

Will work both sides of visor, used to use on my boat screen, beads off real well.
But im sure the guys at the bike shop will help.
Last time i was at the shop, i noticed the rainex in wipes, but didnt get any, still have the spray bottle. wipes would prob be easier to use

"cat crap" is another product that I use, comes in a tiny red tub. Works pretty well.

Suomy used to throw a fog city in with their helmets years ago, found them ok, they did work.

I used rainX on a visor once and it ended up permanently milky, might effect some plastics differently, try a on a tiny bit first.

yeah rainx worked but i put it on lightly on the outside only.. it does say just for glass. so if i can find something else i prob will not use it anymore...

i'll look into the others mentioned n see whats best i suppose.

Cheers guys

+1 for Fog City. You can get a transition style. No where near as good as a tinted visor but still pretty good.
Remember, half the people you know are below average.
