Wet visor?

[Edz1]

Ok Im a newbie so don't laugh too hard at my dum ass question!

How do you keep the rain from obscuring your visor?

I was caught out in the rain yesterday (first time) and the thing that freaked me most was the way the visor got wetted .

So how do the grown ups deal with it?

I just let the wind blow it off. Turn your head a bit to help.

You don't . A spray with Pledge and polish off will help it run off. Getting up to a decent speed and turning your head sideways left to right may help the rain blow off. But, basically , learn to look between the drops

[FJRider]

a quick wipe with the back of the glove helps....

[st00ji]

the fore finger on my left hand glove has a little rubber ridge on it in a laughable attempt at a squegee. it doesnt work as well as you might like, but it does clear enough when it gets seriously wet

Pledge. Orange-scented is best. Carry a can and a soft cloth in your tank bag.

Use nothing else to clean your visor. It buffs out fine scratches and rain drops bead up nicely and blow off cleanly.

It's way better than Plexus and only a fraction of the cost.

Polish your visor (see, you rude lot, I can be serious) Pledge is good, but you know, I dont bother. You kind of get used to water on your visor, it rolls off for the most part. I have these really cool, though sadly not waterproof gloves with a chamois patch on the finger, a simple wipe and no more water for a second or so. Look past the rain drops, is my advice, dont look at them.

It takes some getting used to but the rain drops become surprisingly see through when you learn to ignore them. Heavy rain is usually better oddly as it beads up nicer and runs off. Misty crap sucks!

That didn't help me very much at 50-80kph. I'm not sure but I think it may depend on the shape of the visor/helmet too.

I just wipe it with my left hand. Just like a windshield wiper.

Wude! us? Mom shirley ewe have us confuzzed?
Pledge is still the best trick in the book for making rain roll off your visor, other than that get used to looking through it.

Yes,it appears visors my vary.I've been riding in the rain for a very long time and never had a problem with visors,but my new KBC is terrible in the rain.I always clean my helmet,visor and all with Wurth Helmet cleaner....like you do if the label says helmet cleaner.But after 6 months I finally read the instructions,and it stresses never to use anything but plain water to wash the visor....hmmmm.So I bought a new visor,and will only use water on that one....the other I will now experiment with Pledge.

Have visors changed these last few years...or did I really ruin it by cleaning it?

I just man up and open my visor.It only stings for 5 minutes then your eyes go numb and its all good.
This method will also prevent speeding.
Warning this is not a joke its what I do.

Duno who originally told me to use Pledge, it's all I've ever used, seems to do the trick.

[Mom]

or did I really ruin it by cleaning it?

Sadly, that may be the case

The warnings are usually because closed polymer cell plastics are damaged by some modern household cleaners like spray and wipe.This also goes for the inside of your fridge(causes hardening of plastic then cracks with temp change).Dishwash liquid is the safe option as it does no damage.Pledge surface spray also does little or no damage as it designed not to ruin varnished surfaces.Varnish is effected by harsh solvents.
It is unlikely that a product sold as helmet cleaner would contain solvents which could weeken the cell structure of plastics includes visor.Rubbing with crap on the rag will scratch the surface though.Damp rag always better.

Dont ask me how I know this stuff.I just remember weird shit and forget peoples names.
