Visor water repellent.

Quick update to this.
So my visor has been done a fair while now, and got caught out in the rain the other day and it still works as good as when applied.
There are two members on here currently using the kit and so far I have had good feedback, one has had 2 months so far with no problems.

Heres a video I made of the product on glass,

Personally. I think you should approach the BBC and get on Dragons Den. If your product is good, you stand to get hefty instant investment and lots of exposure let alone the help of a huge entrepreneur which could really skyrocket the product and in doing so, make you rich.

Personally I use a Pinlock (Shoei lids come with them usually) which are perfect for me. However, my iridium visor didn't come with one so I use treatment on it (I don't use it in bad enough weather to warrant a pinlock). I would be interested in a better solution than what I currently have.

Just a quick question. If you don't like the effect, how easy is it to remove from your visor?

Yar, I use it. I'm awful for forgetting to reapply stuff after getting caught in a heavy shower so something I could put on and leave for a while appealed to me immediately.

So far have been very impressed. I've been caught out a couple of times now (notably in the depths of Wales the other week) and found the visor was clearing very quickly, even in more drizzly spray type rain.

IMO £15 or so isn't much to spend on a product you only need to apply once in a while and comes with enough to provide several applications. A cheapy bottle of something is fine if you have to reapply it every other day but the fact is you're paying for convenience AND practicality.

With regards to cleaning, I have found lukewarm water through a small spray bottle most effective. That includes bug parts. I use a small microfibre cloth to wipe away any debris and the visor generally comes up very clean and I have to apply very little pressure if I leave the water to soak a minute or two.

I for one have every intention of buying it again once I run out.

Seriously, if this stuff is proven to work I would buy it. Biking is my only form of transport and I ride a 42 round mile trip to work. Also, I live in the Isle of Man and if you know anything about this place you will know we only have approx 5 dry days per year if we're lucky.

Hope it works out for you and good luck!

Ps. I would be willing to take a punt and buy a bottle anytime.

£15 is just far too much for this sort of thing in my view.
But then, I think most motoring products cost too much.
That's nearly three hours' wages for me. I'll just turn my head sideways or use the finger on my glove, to be honest.

As for update, still working on a few things and testing in real world and advanced testing, nothing I am happy to put out yet as well as having the time to sit down and actually make products takes a lot of time with getting correct dispersion, made one which was amazing which lasted ages and ages and bordered on super hydrophobic, but within a few hours the product had separated and required heating and magnetic stirring to get it back together, which is fine for me to do but not for anyone who doesn't have a hotplate magnetic stirrer.

I do have a pretty good cleaning solution which does add some hydrophobic properties, but I've never really got around to marketing it properly as I do so many different things it's just so hard to find the time, it's also mostly why I don't get back on here.


Failing that, I believe there is Rainpal

Can we extract essence of Tony Blair, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin and apply that to a visor?

Guaranteed no shit will stick to that.
