And I've done a search on KB, but can't seem to find anything relating to this specfic product alone.

Does anyone use this? What do you think?

I'm thinking of buying it cause when it rains and i'm riding at night I can't see sweet f**k all

Hmmm... Thanks

I was searching for just threads in relation to this product, not separate posts.

The things I wanna know are:

1. Does it actually stop fogging? (In the threads above some people says it works and other say its crap - no pun intended)
2. Can it be put on the inside (to apparantly stop fogging) and also on the outside (to possibly make the water run off instead of sitting on the visor)
3. Has anyone tried it on thier sunnies/glasses, as most times I ride with my sunnies on and in the mornings they tend to fog up when I'm riding on normal roads (not the motorway)...
4. How long does one of those little bottles/containers last?

etc

Cat Crap is already $9.95 at your local bike shop, don't mess with Trademe listings for it ... the freight will make it more expensive than retail

Hi PF,
both me and the other half use it.
1. it does stop fogging, if it's a particularly cold morning it does tend to get a bit "smeary", though, nothing that opening the visor a little until you get moving and some air in the helmet doesn't fix though.
2. We put it on the inside only, haven't tried the outside, would suggest rainex or similar for outside use. An application will usually last about a week before needing to be reapplied.
3. haven't tried it on sunnies or specs, but presume it would work the same as on the inside of the visor re fogging problems.
4. we bought a tub that size almost a year ago I'd say, there's a little bit left with both of us using it weekly, not too bad for a product that is only $10. Motomail have it for sale also. Tip: when you are on the road and you clean your visor, try not to get the inside of the visor wet as it will wash the crap away a bit and it won't be as effective.
Give it a go, if you don't like it, it's only cost you $10 for your efforts!
Good luck!

1/ Yes it does work, but I found that you do have to reapply it

2/ Do not put it on the out side as someone has found out the hard way and I think that it went all milky.
What ever it did it was not nice, so I was told.

3/ I have used it on my glasses and it works, but once again you have to reapply it when you clean your glasses.

4/ I'm not sure I can answer this as I still have the same container we both use as we do not use it much. Not because it's no good, just because we do not seem to need it all the time and I just carry it for when we do.

I hope that helps, I would buy it as it is not that dear and just use it when you have to.

Sweet, thanks

I guess I'll give it a go, $10 isn't a lot to loose.

I apply it to my glasses. My glasses fog up, not my helmet.

It is very good, but like everyone says, you have to re-apply often.

And it doesn't seem to like sub 5 degree or so environments, it kinda fogs up.

lol I don't plan on riding in sub 5 degree weather... lol my problem then would be frozen limbs as opposed to fogged visor

I'll buy some and give it go on my visor and my sunnies

It didn't do anything for me. I tried it but it had almost no effect. I even tried it on the outside (curious as usual ) but it didn't have any effect on the rain drops either.

I ended up buying a fog city and I was super satisfied by it. Now I'm riding with the visor completely closed even in the rain and my visor is still 0% fogged.

Excuse my ignorance, whats a fog city?

[MikeyG]

I use it inside and outside.

Outside it seems to make water bead and run-off easier.

Inside it doesn't stop fogging completely but does reduce it.

Excuse my ignorance, whats a fog city?

Sorry! I should have explained.

Fog city is a visor insert - a sheet of clear "special plastic" that you stick on your visor on the inside and does not fog under any circumstances. I tested it under so much humidity that it condensed in the end, but still no fogging at all.

You can buy it at pretty any motorcycle shop and it costs about 30-40 bucks.

Have been using it for a year, on both sides of the visor. Have found that it doesn't stop the fogging, but does help a little. Works really good on our visors for beading the water in the rain, the a flick of the head sideways clears the water away. Never had any of the milkiness referred to in an earlier post. Only gets a bit streaky if too much is applied, you don't need to use much. When I clean my visor I use soaking wet toilet paper and liquid soap, then put a WEENY bit of cat crap on, then buff it. Brings the visor up nice. It's only a small tub but should last ages.

and wasn't very impressed. However after reading everyones comments I might give it another try (if I can find it in the garage!). I too found it a bit smeary. But I do recommend "Plexus" plastic polish for visors and screens. Again about $10-12 from Motomail. Has a limited effect on fogging but really cleans plastic. Even use it on my plane!
