nope, forget it, the stuff is useless IMO. At least on the arai visor. I put 4 coats on, drying buffing, all of it. Didn't bead a bit just broke the surface tension on the water and allowed it to smear all over the visor in an uninterrupted sheet that blurs the vision. I'll try the auto wax now.

There are winter gloves that have a small wiper blade built onto the outside edge of each thumb, or even a peice of shammy leather along a finger. These work fine and can be ordered from many UK online stores. I just keep the visor clean and use the head turn. It's something you get used to.

I am on my second set of DriRider 'Highlander' winter gloves......these have the wiper blade built into each index finger, they work great - highly recomended (at least for the winter months.......)'

Motul Shine & Go.... the one with Silicone... its bloody great.... and keeps your lid shiny too!
Some people are like slinkies good for nothing but still fun when you toss them down the stairs.
