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,

Who? Don't tell us that there are two suuuuper seeeecret members using it and not expect to get asked.
Honestly? What I'm seeing there is water running off of clean glass, and leaving some water beads behind. It's not super convincing. Maybe a half-and-half comparative demonstration?

SURE is not serious.
Dragon's Den is entertainment. If you go on without an established product/business, or a patent, or exclusive rights to a distinctive trademark, then you're there to be mocked.
A long lasting premium product sold to a relatively small market (active wet weather bikers) without (I assume) rock solid exclusive UK rights to sell it? That's not going to end well.
Ever see Martin's Jerked Meats on it? They ripped the piss out of him mercilessly, said that (paraphrasing) he looked filthy and that they wouldn't eat anything he'd touched. The poor guy had no idea, he hadn't even watched it (more fool him) and thought that the worst case was that any publicity would be good publicity - turns out that's not true.
Best result without an established business is that a few bikers see it and think "Eh, should get some more RainX" (I'm thinking that right now...). You'd need the business already set up and poised to fulfil orders immediately, in the literal sense of immediate, i.e. as it airs, in order to exploit it in any way. And that just shifts some stock that you've already paid for.
Anyway, when do we get to buy this wonder spooge? I've got more money than sense, market it to me. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

No problem, I have just picked up a big bit of glass which is ready to be done so will post that up

As Roger says, it is a load of crap made for TV, I have no doubts in the product, has actually been used a lot of places now, most notable the trackside cameras at Silverstone which we did for the F1.
I just don't want to part with a percentage of my business which we have all worked hard for

I already have a few kits here ready to go, just trying to find better boxes to package it in, surprisingly difficult to find decent boxes which look good and function properly, the black ones are too big, the white ones are alright but I don't really like them.

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. ____________________ Current bike: VTR1000F Firestorm.

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 ____________________ Stinkwheel: You have no right to free speech

Classic Aarons.
Come on, we're literally dying to get this wonder spooge.
The real question is: when did Walloper get un-banned, and why is he also allowed a 2nd account (MCN)? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
