Invisible Glass and microfiber towel. Or sometimes Honda polish....and microfiber towel.
The key to not hazing your visor is that microfiber towel, or at least something you're SURE is 100% cotton...not something laying around the garage. Paper towels? Never!
Very Fast Ride, May 15 2006, 09:57 AMI take mine off and use dish soap. It is supposed to reduce fogging. I do it more as a habit than really believing it. But I don't see any glare.
Before each ride I use 3M Brand 10,000 Grit Fine Cut Clear-coat Safe Polish then followed up with Mothers California Gold Clay Bar.
For the final finish I apply a light coating of Rain-X & Rain-X Anti-Fog.
After spending about 1 hour detailing my shield I'm now ready to ride off into the sunset... biggrin.gif
Yesterday, I dipped paper towels from aside the gas pump at the gas station into the bin of washer fluid hanging near the same pump... Wiped & dried with more paper towels.
I have also applied Rain-X from time to time... Although, no real problems riding in the rain... My Arai does not ever fog it seems like...
I need a helmet AC unit or something now though... It is getting hot inside there!
enzed_viffer, May 16 2006, 03:09 PMWD40 and newspaper.
Really?
- Sometimes. But when I don't have WD40 and newspaper handy, I use Plexus and a soft cloth. Out on the road, I use windowcleaner in a small "Simple Green" (useless stuff) pump bottle, and a microfibre cloth. At work I use Vu-Tek� Lemon Scented Anti-Glare Filter Cleaner: "Specially formulated for anti-glare filters, it's equally efffective on monitors, eyeglasses, or any glass or acrylic surface." Or AGV visors. goofy.gif Plus it's free! I just take it out of my desk drawer, and voila! A misspelled musical implement.
Danno2, May 15 2006, 01:08 PMWindex and paper towel after each ride.
I've read something about Windex can cause some milky fogging of clear shields. I think it did do this to my old BMW System 2 face shield. It's doesn't seem too bad, but there is a definite milkyness to it's shield when I compare it to my non Windexed helmet face shields. Not sure if it still can be a problem with newer helmets. I switched wholly to Pledge Lemon to clean and polish my helmets and shields fing02.gif . I also use Plexus once in a while.
Yep, dishsoap and fingers. Rinse with super-hot water and shake off. Wipe the last drops off with a fresh paper towel.
A little Pledge can help bugs come off easier next time.
Been cleaning shields and sunglasses this way for years and years. My present shield is 5 or 6 years old, and just now needing replacement. Dropping it in the gravel didn't help.
