Visor/plastic polish

[fergie]

i have been using mothers plastic polish to great affect, did a great job on the 20 year old screen on the bold'or

PLEXUS, is the correct product or "Niki wax" to use on visors. Just bought a small (12gram) pump bottle from the bike shop, $12.98. Ideal to carry away, one pump is enough on your visor to clean. Wipe the bugs off first though.

Actually, if you don't have anything to wash the bugs off with, you're better to spray HEAPS of Plexus/Pledge onto them, leave it to sit for a while to soften them, then wipe off. Follow up with another squirt to polish the visor up.
Either that, or get a quick protein snack by licking the visor clean of bugs first.

ive found that ajax floor cleaner to get out the scratches followed by Neopol all purpose polish including plastics works great and the rain beads off.

Yep. I'm voting for Pledge. Comes in all sorts of different flav.. err fragrances! Spray on, leave for a couple or three minutes, then wipe off, then polish up with clean cloth. Before I started using fog city's, it was my opinion that it also helped with anti fogging too. Helps mask small scratches too. My preference is the aerosol version, as it fits in the tank bag better.

um the megueirs is fine to use
I actually just use a bit of a old black t shirt and just use armoural or finish 2000 same shit dif day .

usually find im running out of armoural or black ts most the time
Normally clean the whold bike with armoral

If you want to shed the water off the helmet visor (check its ok on the plastic first ) buy some rain x
Its brilliant

Any way if the plastex is bit more expensive "How much you gonna use"
Its a cleaner not a plaster. itll last ages for the price

Isnt that what most people want

After a brief flirtation with Plexus, Mrs H and I have gone back to Pledge. Way better wet weather performance -- water beads up and runs off way better.

[shafty]

I'm with Mr Hitcher Esquire on the vote for Pledge - there was p l e n t y of rain to test it out on the Grand Challenge - as a variation, I used the orange scented Pledge "wipes" - they come in a resealable plastic pack.

Be very careful with Glass Cleaners - in my opinion and from experience, I recommend you don't use them unless someone else already has and reports no damage. Glass cleaners work well on glass because they are highly abrasive. Most (especially car window cleaners) will scratch plastic.

I agree, I wouldn't touch my visor with anything else but a wee bit of Palmolive and warm water. Tryed many products, Marg was always right. And it softens the hands!

Rainex Rainex Rainex. Beads up more than a sweating Jazzasize instructor, and tested for over 1200 seadays.

I found Mr Sheen to be the best for visors and everything in general however that has gone off the market here now (but is still available in Aus). I now use Pledge which is not as good to apply mainly because it tends to "splodge" out of the spray can whereas Mr Sheen was a squeeze/spray.
Hint: Mitre 10 Mega (Lower Hutt) have large can of Pledge at $9.50 (nice lemon fragrance too) which is better value than the smaller ones you get at Supermarket.

Denise Richards, however, had a different experience entirely.

she had totally, like, BOdacious titties in "Starship Troopers"



I clean Mr Visor with warm water and detergent stuff (that pump hand soap thing in the bathroom). Sometimes I polish with Pledge afterwards... but not often.

[notasothers]

I only use mild soap with warm water to clean. A lot of cleaners can break down plastics. You wont see it right away but it may loose it strength over time. Not what you want happening to a Helmet.

interesting thread since i have just brought a tinted visor .. my clear one has a few wee scratches so really want to treat the tinted one right .. anything else i need to watch on this ?

[johnnyflash]

Ive used the stuff obtained from Opticians for cleaning plastic lens Specs, in a wee spray bottle on my tinted visor , did a magic job and no ill effects, Now if its scratched on the outside there is a product that will remove fine scatches a special plastic polish for that job, I cant for the life of me remember whats its called at the mo, and while Ive used it on non-tinted visors in the past without any problem I dont know about a tinted version... Ill try find the name....have a feeling it is a Mothers Product??, hmm maybe???
