If this stuff is as good as you say then sending out a £100 worth of product is fuck all in the grand scheme of things.
Its real world reviews and word of mouth that will make you a millionaire.
Im sure im not alone in thinking this it BS.
You need to prove it isn't.
Good luck with that. ____________________ GPZ500 sold ~ CBR600FS-2 sold ~ ZX6R sold ~ Street Triple R |

Tell you what Pits, if covering the cost is a concern for test samples I would be happy to pay you £10-15 right now for a sample of your product and provide you with detailed feedback on it. I'm in Scotland, rains very regularly, and I do around 40 miles a day most weekdays.
I am a firm believer in helping out the little guys, so if it helps you get things rolling along faster then so be it until i have reason to believe otherwise, I'll take you at your word as to how good it is! if you are interested, just let me know and we can sort something out.

If a 50ml bottle goes so far why not sell it in 10/15ml doses, for say a fiver. If it is as good as you say it would catch like wildfire.
Like keggy said, i cant see any product remaining there after a dirty wet glove wipes over the visor.
Goodluck to you though. ____________________ [Current Bikes - GSXR-750 K5 & C90-97 ] [Previous Bikes: Runner 125, YBR 125, GS500, Bandit 600, Hornet 600, ZX6R-99, C90-99, R1-99, XT600E-04, GSXR-750 K4, CRF250L '16] |

I am currently putting an order together to bring a shipment in within the next few weeks, so will let you know

Second that! Would do it to my car windscreen, as my bikes off the road.. |
Car windscreen is a different product, none of these products are the same, so a windscreen one wont work on a visor, a paint one wouldn't work on a windscreen etc, but on the order I do have some windscreen kits coming in, but they are more expensive due to the make up of the product and you get 4 products as opposed to two, and all the applicator cloths and what not, but will let you know.

a 50 ml bottle is way too much for a windscreen, it was a sample kit I was given.
The visor kit comes in either 6ml or 10ml kits, now that doesn't seem a lot but trust me it is, I will perhaps do a video to show how far the product actually goes, a few times I have been left scratching my head wondering where to use the left over product on the applicator.
Also remember you wouldn't be getting just 6ml of product, you are getting the cleaner, the applicator cloths as well, to put it in perspective maybe, Rain X is £7-10 and lasts a week-month max really, and it isn't really designed for visors, and at least it comes in a pretty box
Now I appreciate it really does seem quite expensive when you look at it, but I am trying to keep the costs as low as possible, as a biker I appreciate how massively overpriced and marked up a lot of the stuff they try to sell to us is, so I am trying to work out the best price for this I just need to register the interest and get some testers in place.
The problem is you could never sell it at £5, it cost a bit more for me to buy the box kit in, by the time I have placed the order I have lost money, I need to look at it from a business point of view, hopefully I can wangle a few samples out here there and everywhere.
I will be honest, I waffled a bit there, I am super tired, so if none of it makes any sense please ask and I will reply in the morning.
But so far you guys have been invaluable bringing up some good points and questions, really nice to see both good and bad feedback on the idea, and any concerns, I hope I have addressed them properly, I will try and get some videos up to show the application tomorrow, in between working and going to rescue my one car that decided to overheat on the way out earlier.

Right time to resurrect this thread.
Finally getting somewhere with this now and have a few of the kits in stock now, that said I am waiting for a camera to turn up to do some video tests and pictures for you guys.
I have also finally had chance to
A. Go out on my bike
B. Go out when it was raining
C. See the coating work in the rain
Heavy rain just hits and comes straight off.
Light rain, you're deal with gravity and friction, that said, spray from cars essentially at 30mph requires a look right/left and is cleared instantly.
Someone mentioned the glove across the visor wipe, this worked surprisingly well, we all know the score you wipe your visor in the rain and you're instantly blind, with the product on, I found that it just wiped clean, but I really would like to get some more testing done on that.
Hopefully by the end of the day I will have some static tests done and posted up.
I need to speak to G and Korn about actually selling but for the moment I am sticking to the no spam rule, maybe I can sort something out with them, but will see how it goes.
So far so good, and hopefully I should have some actual bike paint kits ready to go
I will try and get some videos up of the static tests when my camera turns up ____________________ Stinkwheel: You have no right to free speech

I'd be more interested in an independent source telling me that the original coating still works well months down the line. ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

Sounds pretty cool, very very unlikely to work months down the line I imagine, but i'm not against spraying a bit on my visor before I go out in the rain now and again, hardly inconvenient and it means we'll use more product ____________________ Fzr-600 1999 |

Working on that as well, the idea for the static tests is just a general idea for you guys to have a look at, otherwise it is a completely biased test in perfect conditions and one of those things that when the person selling it is going "omglolz look how awesome it is"
But I will try and sort something out for a few people ____________________ Stinkwheel: You have no right to free speech

Glad to hear things are moving along with this Pits.
My offer still stands by the way. More than happy to be a guinea pig and test some of this stuff out. |

Hah, just in time for summer, nice timing, chump.

I'd suggest a recommendation from a 3rd party like Marmalade, G, Kickstart or similar would carry a lot of weight. If you can convince sickpup or Hetzer, you've got my money. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Would be more than happy to test this in what we laughingly call a Welsh "summer"
I'll be keeping an interested eye on the outcome.
