Anti-Fog Stuff?

[Dodgyiti]

Cut a spud in half an rub the raw side on your visor.
It's only very short term,like one day but it will work and may save you hassles if you get stuck.Or you can go to any optomitrist and buy a lipstick type stuff for not very much at all and it lasts for yonks.

Mmmm, neat tip, sounds a little kinky, should market that one. Spud Off?
Irish Mist Remover? Fog De Terre?
I will try it tonight, I love freebees. :spudwave:

There are various versions of anti-fog inserts, Pro Grip, Fog City, Mega shield etc. They range from $19.50 to $100.00 for light sensitive types. All work well.
I personally think Shoei's Pinlock system is the dog's bollocks, it has a silicone bead that keeps it air tight and prevents scratching of visors. I believe pinlock pivots are available for non pinlock visors too.
I haven't found anything that prevents glasses fogging up though.

what did that sting you?

Just thirty well spent dollars and I don't need to carry a second visor for change of light!

I use Plexus on my visor, inside and out, and on my sunnies too. It works OK to stop them fogging up, although that's not its intended use (it's a plastic polish). I wouldn't say it's a brilliant anti-fogger, but it's brilliant for cleaning plastic.

Skyryder - don't use paper towels on visors, unles you want fine little scratches (the ones that cause 'starring') all over your visors. Use a soft cloth, or if you want somehting disposable, use lint-free paper wipes intended for lenses and the like.

Most of the anti-fog lotions 'n potions use something to stop the fog forming tiny droplets on the surface being treated, so they use glycerine or detergent as a base, or some other surfactant, or a silicone-based liquid. The principle is that the fog doesn't adhere long enough to stick and form a film, because there is insufficient hydrogen bonding on the surface to allow the 'grab hold', Instead it either blows off, or forms larger droplets that roll off. So wiping your visor over with detergent solution could possibly be as effective as any commercially available solution, provided it doesn't smear too much. Just a thought...

i just use the dish washing detergent,
just a TINY drop and wipe OFF as much as possible!
lasts a good couple of weeks..even in CHCH!
I KNOW I WAS LIVING down there also
