I bought a 2 pack of those little spray bottles at the "everything's a dollar" store. Filled one with rain-x, and one with rain-x anti fog.

Then I went to wal-mart and bought one of those bottles"80 hour enery" spray you can get at the checkout.
Get one of those, take off the label, open the bottle, and chug it(ok, not really...unless you want to fly for....well...80hrs), then fill it with windex and keep it in your front jacketpocket with one of those blue heavy-duty shop paper towels. That'swhat i do.

Was that too detailed? Well, you asked for it...

Would have all been in one post, but this place is sucking lately...
Took me about 10mins just for this.

I keep ski wax in my tank bag. I wax inside and out. It sheds the rain very good. It has been raining here since April. It rained last night and it is getting ready to rain again.

I was using lemon pledge because of the wax content. Last year I stopped and picked up some in the pouring rain. It made things real bad. The can said,” New improved, no wax formula.” It turned out to be lemon oil. I was smearing oil all over my shield in the rain. HA, HA, HA….

Bet that sucked. Funny, though.
We have some silicone anti-fog/lens cleaner at work I've used a few times. Works good for fog.

I'll have to try wax.

I have a visor insert which works well.
A friend who owns a chemical co makes stuff called "splat" for bugs, which is great.....

+1 Shadow. I have a Fog City Optics polarized insert on my visor (Shoei RF-1000). Foggy visor? What's that, never had one!
