Default Best Cleaning for Visors

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.

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.

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