Has anyone tried Pledge? You know the wood polishing stuff.... We used to use it on aeroplane perspex, works a treat on that.

Yep, sAsLEX is spot on. Mines fine, got the light activated tint one for no extra cost either. Killed 2 birds with one stone, as they say.

I use Pledge . Works OK, but you have to keep redoing it

You are so right sAsLEX, I was looking at the visor on my relatively new helmet and there are some serious gouges where stones have hit it and that's just from vehicles on sealed roads.

Yay, Pledge! I carry a can and a soft cloth in the tankbag and clean the helmet and visor at each stop. It's also good for the headlights and screens on our bikes. A fantastic product. Thank you Mr Johnson.

I can get you a pile of catshit cheaper than that... 2 cats, probably crap once a day - more if we give 'em too much fibre

Best advert I've seen for driving/riding like a nana. Hate to come across that when scraping the pegs around the corner.

Well, that is just disgraceful.

What idiot was responsible for stringing that red mesh right across the road? Blurdy youffs again I suppose. Think it's funny to see a biker hit their ruddy net and come off. A good flogging is what they need.

Roads a bit narrow too, isn't it.

If Road and Sport had them in stock when I was last in there, I'd've been tempted to buy one. Could be a costly experiment if it didn't work, though.

i have ones of those "FOGG OFF" things, is the best thing i have ever used, can be sitting at a standstill with the visor completly shut, in the pissing down rain and my visor will not fog at all.

I found that an anti fog visor insert works very well.........along with riding with the visor slightly open (a fraction of an inch tbh).

You can always try smearing fairy liquid on the inside, this has also known to work..but foams up when it gets wet though....which can be kinda fun and smells soooooooooooo good.
