    There are products available, I think one is called RainX (but could be wrong). Your local bike shop should have something in stock.
    RainX is the one for cars/glass
    The bike shop should have some idea tho.. if none of these make sense!

    Saliva

    I find saliva works a treat. Just leave the visor open a smidgen and lick the outside - tastes great with some bugs and tar.

    I have used RainX on my latest helmet and it was bad in light rain with oncoming lights. Cleaning the screen wif Autosol (tube stuff - prob v fine abraisive) removes light scratches and polishes the surface. Never tried Pledge but sounds like worth a try.

    I've said this before, but I'll say it again...

    Rain-X reacts with the anti-scratch layer on many visors, turning it milky and instantly unusable.

    Clean your visor with lots of luke-warm water (hot will destroy the anti-scratch properties of the outer coating) and a clean, soft cloth, then use Plexus, Pledge or Silicone Spray on the outside of your visor, and polish it with another soft, clean cloth.
    ACC - It's where the Enron accountants all went.
