Best Cleaning for Visors

askmrjesus · 04-02-2012, 09:45 PM

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've always done this on road trips to the tall clear windshield. Works great.

But you can also use Novus 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.
