Besides going out and buying specific solution to clean dirty and buggy visors, is there any common household cleaning product that you trust to clean visors effectively???

I use rubbing alcohol for visors and my glasses.

I found alcohol to be good for cleaning, (my colon) but not so good at keeping shit from sticking to the visor. It dries too clean.
I use Plexus. Good shit.
Poor man's domestically located equivalent; Lemon Pledge.

Plexus
the old school Honda Polish use to be awesome too

That was good stuff.
I think it was 98% silicone, and 2% whale tears.

Plexus is great for the finish, but to get the bugs and crap off easy, do this....
Get a washcloth, soak it in the hottest water you can get out of the faucet, wring it out mostly, and place on the helmet for 10-15 minutes.
The junk literally melts away.

I do this with paper towels
Meanwhile I have Plexus and the old Honda polish on my shelf.
Unfortunately I have a bad habit of knocking them over and sending the nozzle off to oblivion.

:idk: I just use water, and I don't let them petrify onto the helmet or visor.

I use for my glasses, never thought about that for the visors though...

I said I wasn't going to let this happen to my new helmet, but it kind of already did. :idk: It's a combination of 'I'm fucking tired and I don't give a shit.' along with 'where's my beer?' and maybe just a touch of 'Damn it, I still have homework to do.'

I've always done this on road trips to the tall clear windshield. Works great.
But you can also use Novus (http://www.novuspolish.com/) You can also get their polish to get out scratches.
For other plastics I use Bug Slide... it works real well.

This is pretty much my method. Lately I've been contemplating Rain-X or something to keep the water from collecting on the visor, especially on foggy mornings.

Rain X can F up the plastics... I've tried.
