ive heard of people useing furniture polish on their visors as it helps shift water? how true is this?? and if it is does it actually work?

Yes I use wax polish and rainX

I'll second rainX

shushh..... but methylated spirits does a similiar job
at a fraction of the price

wax polish is best, although I have used spray polish in emergencies. just double check for smears with wax though

I have heard that furniture polish in a can after some time can make your visor brittle....so if using it change your visor every year or so to eliminate the possablity..maybe??

I suppose a dedicated product is the only safe route..

ive have in the past used Bee's wax on my visor, with great sucess...picked up some rainX a few weeks ago, but havent used it cos it says on the bottle that its not to be used on plastics.
anyone had any problems with it?

I've been using rainx all year round
for the last 2 years and haven't had problems
visor still crystal clear

Iv used Rainx on my 2 lids over the last 2 years without any probs, Visor plastic is of a superior quality and has gone thru stringent test so I don't see how Rainx would cause any probs.

thanks guy's...i was a bit hesitant to use it after reading the warning on the bottle...i'll give it a try in the morning

Furniture polish is often no different to the dedicated bike polishes (in terms of chemical constituents). I think the aspect of brittle visors was probably froma certain type of polish, I've heard it before but I've used furniture polish myself and never had the problem.
