I've been a Mr Sheen man since the day I started riding. The Fog City doesn't like it so that gets a damp cloth every so often but Me Sheen for the outside every time I ride.
What do you use to clean your visor? |

Without wanting to sound like I'm preaching here, you shouldn't use anything that comes out of an aerosol to clean polycarbonate.
The propellant is a petrol-chemical which has a somewhat detrimental effect on the plastic making it turn brittle so your visor will shatter rather than absorb a shock. Unfortunately, there is quite a few products that are used on bikes and cars which have the same sort of stuff in them so you need to be careful.
Hand-soap (not washing up liquid!) and warm water to clean. If you need to polish it, make sure it's a pure wax without abrasives in it.
The reason it screws with you Fog City (I thought they weren't made any more?) is that the polish fills all the microscopic 'dimples' which dispel the moisture, again, hand soap, warm water to clean and a hair dryer (on warm) to dry it. (if you use a cloth it tends to scratch it)

That's interesting, I'd heard someone ramble on about it a while ago but you've said it much clearer. Ta. |
