Has anyone got any hot tips on a product that helps get keep your vision relatively clear by making water stream away rather than spot on your visor?

Colin Collins simply stated 'No' when I asked if they had anything, but I'm sure I've seen products with just this problem in mind.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

Rainex is the stuff most people use. Although I think the label tells you not to use it on plastic.

All the best

car/bike polish.

Works for me, you must have noticed how water rolls of your paint work after you've polished it.

If you polish the inside and outside of your visor it gets it realy clean and stops glaring at night (or mornings).

I use Mr Sheen. Don't spray directly on, as the aerosol propellants may not be safe for the visor in the long term, I spray onto a cloth and then polish the visor.

You can use washing-up liquid as anti-fog in a pinch too. Clean your visor, then get some fairy liquid on a kitchen towel and rub it all over the inside face. Now use clean kitchen towel to buff it off just enough so there are no more smears, and your visor won't fog.

Better still buy some fog spray, or even better an anti- fog insert Very Happy

My Justissimo doesn't fog at all, it's got some weird coating on the inside, judging by the feel of it.

Hmmm, looks like Rain X is the stuff to look into, cheers.
