Welcome to Kiwibiker! You should start a thread about waving too.

Have a look at these (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=47952) two (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=53192) threads.

But for what it's worth, Cat Crap is okay. Needs applying every week or more often.

What type of helmet have you got? If you are able to get a pinlock system, I have just bought a new Shoei with one fitted and it is amazing, It will not fog and has perfect clarity as well. In the past I have used a fog city insert but it pissed me off so much I ripped it out. I don't think you will find any wipe-on products that compare to an insert.

I'm with you on the fog city insert. I just took mine off; distorts my vision and still fogs up. I go to the gym at night and then ride home and it fogs up pretty quick.
I'll have to check out the pinlock you mentioned for my shoei. I found this website about it: http://www.pinlockusa.com/ Got great reviews from Cycleworld as well.

My husband has a fog city insert and swears by it. He's a fussy bugger so if he says it works, it WORKS!

Clearly the mans never used a pinlock.

I have a Nolan helm with the built in antifog and it works great.

The wife now has a fog city insert in her helmet after first trying catcrap.
So far so good, only problem has been the inside of the visor becoming grubby and thus need cleaning more often.

I'm a newbie here and ride a ZX50, but I can fog my whole house with no problem. My poor AC-11 visor was no match for this hot head.

After riding around with a gap for the past 2 months I received my replacement HJC pinlock visor and insert from the guys at ibike.com

It's INCREDIBLE!, why doesn't every helmet in the world have one.

I couldn't recommend them enough, and will be showing it of at work. Sadly they're not imported to NZ for HJC, but the guys at ibike were fantastic. I say buy up now before our dollar drops.

A clear flexible insert with a silicone bead around it that seals against the inside of your visor. Sort of double glazing effect!

I use this stuff designed for Paintball googles called Majic Spray. Not sure who imports it but it is a JT Paintball product and that Kyn from Actions Paintball stocks it so might pay to call him and see if you can buy some

How often does it have to be reapplied?

The fog city in my shoei has been excellent, not fog AT ALL. However, at night I do pick up a bit of glare which is annoying, but so much better than being fogged up.

I'll go for a pinlock next.

I did that when I first landed on this board! OMG! I thought I was so unique.
I don't wave anymore and I use the pin lock visor on my Shoei helmet, thank you for asking... :niceone:

Oh, you should wave, waving is good and friendly. Old-skool bikers wave, dumb bikers don't wave. So don't be dumb, wave.:woohoo:

I do wave, unless my middle finger is busy or my hand is busy or I nod or I am shifting gears or it's a day that ends in "y" or I have to look at the road or my visor is up or my visor is down or...well, I usually try to acknowledge other two wheeled friends.

I always wave at scooters, just 'cause they're so little and cute and it takes big balls to ride them around here. :done:
