Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2006 8:06 amI've used it on car windscreens and it is excellent...
However, i seem to remember it not being suitable for helmet visors. Probably worth checking out first.

another product worth meantioning is bugoff for the front of your bike (wash ya bike with it, and even undiluted bugoff as like a polish so the bugs dont stick)

Mr Sheen works fine for me, or silicon as mentioned above. For fogging inside my sheild I use the scuba divers trick

Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2006 9:32 amDishwashing detergent polished onto the inside of a visor will stop it from fogging, alternatively for a longer lasting approach, fogcity's are worth every cent
Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2006 9:34 amI use a fog city visor for the inside and scott antifog for the outside, i believe rain-x will destroy some visors (says so on the pack)
Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2006 11:46 amrain x and fog x work well.
not that i ride in the rain or anything

LMAO, that's the funniest thing I've read all day!
I'm sure it's not that funny, just must have been my frame of mind at the time...
Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2006 5:10 pmNo your right! It is funny. I was going to say so but you have done it for me so now I ......

Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2006 6:05 pmI just open my visor, the rain drops sting the face a bit, but I don't fog up
