cleaning your visor
 
OK Im sure this has been discussed but I couldn't find it, so forgive me if this is ANOTHER visor thread. Anyway, how do you guys clean the visor on your helmets? My Dad SWEARS up and down you aren't suppose to use any type of cleaning agents on the windshields and visors. However, plain ol water and a rag just aint gettin the job done. I got some crusted stuff on it now and even when I think I get all the crap off I still can't see as well as Id like to. Maybe my visor is just old and I need a new one but do you guys have any tricks of the trade that you might be willing to share? Ive always ended up buying a new helmet before I got to the point where the visor needs replacing so I guess I don't know the warning signs of an old visor. Oh and by the way the title was suppose to be cleaning your VISOR! sorry.

windex and a paper towel has always worked for me.

Windex destroys any fog coating on contact...water and a soft towel ftw.

Windex, and I've never had a problem with the anti fog stuff being wiped off except on an icon helmet

I use a plastic-safe window cleaner (with a soft cloth), then Honda Polish (with a t-shirt or microfiber cloth). If I have a lot of dried bugs on it, I use a really wet towel first to loosen them up, then the Honda Polish.

I use Zooks (I think that's the name of it - it's ice blue) anti-fog on the inside.

Honda polish and a microfiber towel cleans the bugs off real easy.

I've always used Plexus on mine, never had any problems with it, but I only have a clear shield. When I had mirrored shields I always just used water and a soft cloth because those damn things scratch so easily.

Dish soap. It'll break up the bug guts...


Other than that I use 3m glass cleaner... Stuff fucking rocks... But I rarely use it on my visor... As dish soap works perfect

warm water and dish soap.
