    I prefer the smell of Plexus to that of Pledge. At least the version I bought anyway...smells like a tart's window box.

    Both seem to work pretty much the same though.

    Yeah .. most of the time I forget until I'm riding and looking through a dirty visor. Most of the time I ride in shades with my visor open - so I don't rememebr it's dirty until it rains and I'm forced to close it .. Too late !!!

    So I clean it when I fill up .. but never use the brush ... it might have grit in it that will scratch the visor. Use their paper wipes dipped in the windscreen wash liquid.

    I'm in disagrozzlement. Mr Sheen is the stuff, smells of gay bees & gives your helmet a lovely lustre.

    +1 to this. I do the same, when I remember and the visor comes up a treat. Of course it does show you all the real scratches and marks on the visor indicating time for a new helmet...

    Gay bees, huh? Who'd'a guessed there were gay bees?

    Incidentally, which helmet were you using it on..?

    Paper towels, really? I've always used them with Pledge on the visor. I just did some searching and it seems your right. Paper towels don't adsorb grit and can cause scratching.

    I'll have to go back to using a cloth. Thanks for the tip.
