Visor Treatment - RainX

**Disco Dan** · 4th March 2009, 13:43

For those of you who have not seen this product yet, you can apply it to your visor and windows even mirrors and it repels water really well !

I was so impressed I took a little video clip of two windows side by side, the left treated with rainx the right with nothing. I then cleaned both windows using a standard car cleaner product and tried it again... remained 100% effective! At $10 with free car cleaner it was well worth it.

I cant wait for it to rain!

Here is the video clip (ignore the odd colour, camera does not pick up my paintjob well!).

I have no affiliation with this company/product other than being a first time buyer and user of it.

I'm a great fan of RainX for car windows, and have now put it on all the windows, not just the windscreen. It does tend to leave smears, so you have to use a bit of elbow grease.

Haven't tried it on the helmet visor yet; still happy with Pledge.

PS: there are 2 RainX products: the stuff that makes the water stream off for the outside and anti-fog for the inside. I presume we're talking about the outside stuff.

I've used if for many years in the cage - you don't even need the wipers on at anything over 80km/h in torrential rain - the wind just blows the rain off the screen. The only problem with it is it causes the glass to fog much easier in the cold on the side it's applied to.

Oh thats interesting, cheers. My windscreen fogs up easily anyway, even get condensation on the inside as I have a little leak and get wet carpets.

Was certainly very impressed, and since my wipers stop working over about 70k because the wind puts too much strain on the motor - I should be able to drive mway speeds in the rain now!!

Meh. Tried both the original stuff and anti-fog on me visor through last winter. IMO Pledge is just as good (my fav is lemon..mmm lemon fresh), is cheaper and doesn't smear. Car windows it works a treat though.

So where 'dya get it from?

**vifferman** · 4th March 2009, 14:20

I had heard / read that RainX was not to be used on bike visors - wrecks the plastic or somesuch.

I bought some for my hubby's old car and it worked wonders. I also haven't tried it on visor and don't own pledge so I will be interested to see how well it works on my visor come next rain.

If you look carefully at the reflection you can see that Disco Dan was wearing a mankini.

Yes Rain-X works great on cars as long as you keep applying it. (i love the stuff, very easy to see in heavy rain @ anything over 80kmh) but i found it didn't work / last on my old bike visor. Let us know how it goes. Planning to try the pledge trick on a now old visor.
