Oh yes, but only one speed - 'on' or 'off' and the 'on' setting slows right down to 'grinding halt' when the wind/car gets over about 70kmph.

On my visor? No. In the cage... yes, good quality silicone ones. But nothing compares with the clarity of a windscreen that's treated with Rain-X.

Good thing, when it rains and you are driving, the rain does not really settle on the side windows eh?

Having tried both with and without, I can vouch for the effectiveness. Have you tried both?

Only on the inside, works well as a demister!

i've used rainx on my Arai for years without issue. soft perspex may be an issue but good quality polycarb is pretty bomb proof. Pledge is OK for stopping fogging inside, but nothing beats Palmolive dish wash liquid. Rainx has proved the best product for not allowing fog condensation to build up - a turn of the head beads it off real fast.

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!!

Dude! Might be time to get a new car eh?

Crazy talk - any money spent on a new car would be better spent on the bike!
A better option is to sell the car.

It says on the back of the bottle not to use on plastics...but maybe its ok? I use the it on the cage but thats all. Pledge.... I tryed it on the boat, works fine, but nice expensive visor I dont think so. Bars bugs and water in one of those small adomisers from payless plastics. Small and compact and fits into top pocket....
