Didnt someone say one time to use Pledge on the visor?

I'll have to look that up.. Undecided

http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/

Theres a article about pledge on this site.....reads...

Quote-"As I've said, it works great on plastic of any colour and even on windshields and helmet visors as well. No, it doesn't turn clear plastic a yellow tint, it leaves no waxy buildup. It works like Rain-X in the rain and makes bugs come off easy as well as the dirt and dust.."-end of quote.

And they say to use "Lemon" Pledge only.
BTW-I havent tried this yet but someone here mentioned it at one time.Maybe Skatnbc Undecided

not positive though but someone said it works.

I just love this forum. Pregnant when I was 9. Actually my oldest kid is 10. Tongue

I have orange pledge, humm...... My main problem is fogging on the outside of my visor. I do mostly highway riding, and if I do get stopped at a stop sign and it starts to fog a bit on the inside it clears right up as soon as I start moving again.

Thanks again for the info, its much apprecated.

Two things wrong with Rain-X for fogging...as said, it destroys plastic, and it causes moisture to bead up. For antifogging, you want something that causes the moisture to sheet over. This is what soap does or try a very thin film of liquid detergent. The moisture is there anyway, you want it in a clear transparent layer, not in droplets that refract light.

Cat Crap works medium well on my glasses under ski goggles...it isn't perfect and nothing I've found works better. The company that makes it used to sell the same thing in golf shops with a more genteel name, but I think it didn't sell.

To anyone who does not wear a faceshield. Do it, you never know. Just yesterday I was cruising along at 55mph when I saw what I thought was a leaf coming at me. Nope, a huge arse ROCK. It hit my shield and actually pushed my head back. If I hadn't been wearing it, my cheak bone just under my eye would have been a little funny feeling. The sound of that rock hitting my shield is something I won't forget for a while.

To the question. Cheesy

I crack mine a bit till it clears out.

Use it on my visor and my windscreen. Easier clean up, sheds water, seems to greatly reduce fogging. However, i do still occassionally have to crack the visor 1/4" on REALLY bad days (inside/outside wide temp difference).

OK, I admit I am a dumb man, but what is the difference between industrial pledge and the stuff my wife buys at wherever? Huh

I just happened to pick that up at an office supply place - probably the exact same thing as regular tho...
