    Visor wipes

    Just over 2 years ago I tried a pack of Rockoil visor wipes which I got from Katman in Taupo. They were brilliant, but I couldn't find anywhere else that stocks them. So two weeks ago when I was in Taupo again I had to call into to Katmans shop and get another pack. Katman wasn't sure about how well they would work as the pack he gave me had been sitting on his shelf for some time, so we opened it right there and it seemed OK to me.

    I am about to head out and pre-ride the Chatto Creek 1000 miler, so decided to clean my visor using just one of these wipes. The result was perfect. Every bit of insect remains and road grime was removed and left the visor with a crystal clear finish.

    I would recommend these wipes to everyone. They come in a small, easy to carry pack and make keeping your visor clean a simple task.
    Why do some pistons go up and down when your wheels go round and round?

    They're just a bigger version of the visor wipes.

    You could certainly clean a large portion of your bike with one.

    Many bikes would struggle to find under seat storage for the pack though.

    This intrigues me. Wouldn't any grime on the visor scratch it if you wipe it?

    Even BP would shy away from cleaning up a sidecar oil spill.

    Most visors are alot more scratch resistant than ud think, also i dont think grim will scratch with a wet wipe bits of dirt and heavy dust would be more a suspect but maybe safe with a light wipe or dab with one wipe then toss it and give it a second good wipe with a clean one...

    Bunnings sell em!

    They're usually by the checkout in the "are you sure you dont need these, cos you are standing there waiting to go thru the checkout..." bins.Think they calle em Glass wipes, but they come in a resealable bag, about $2. And no they dont harm my $120 Arai visors!
    lucky bastard
