Here's something I've never seen before. Anyone ever hear of it before?

If it weren't for the therapeutic properties of the occasional off-camber decreasing radius downhill right-hander I'd almost certainly go completely sane.

I use it. It works. Use on the helmet visor, mainly.

Nice! How long have you had it and has there been any issues?

Oh for goodness sakes.  :lol:


Papa, how does it not scratch up your visor?  Anytime I've squeegeed a visor with some road grime on it, I've scratched my visor.

Um, clean your visor thoroughly first? Curiously, that's what I did.Now, rain just streams off it.

So, you clean your visor and no road grime gets on it when you're out riding next?

For me, if I'm riding in the rain, I'll get behind some vehicle which pits grime on my visor. If the rain pal is wiping, won't it scratch the visor?

I put a little of that anti-fog wax on the outside - since it does no good on the inside - seems to keep the scratches off.  Current visor going on 8 years and although it has a couple of nice chips in it, no real scratches.

No more than usual. It also means that you don't need to wipe the visor much.

Ah. Didn't watch the video. The stuff I use has the same name but is a fluid.

That is interesting.  I emailed to see if they ship to the US.  Just curious.
