Anyone heard or used Rainx no-fog on the outside of the shield to keep bugs and debris from sticking?
Was getting gas and cleaning a lot of small bugs off my face shield and a guy said that he uses the no fog on the outside of his to keep bugs/mud from sticking to his in his dirt track car. I verified that he was talking about nofog and not RainX regular water repellent.
Haven't tried it yet.

 

If it's designed for anti - fogging, it may not be so good as a bug remover.
Normal rainX is a no no - has chemicals which will damage your visor and rubbers it comes in contact with.
Check the chemical makeup on an old visor, and you'll be better informed, as will I.

Normal window cleaner works well for me, and has for years. I carry a small bottle with me and use it all the time.
The biggest problem with bugs is the oily residue they leave - Cheapest solution.

 

Don't want to start an argument or act like a know-it-all, but visor manufacture recommended RainX, (I have used it for 30+ years) the type to repel rain. Using "household glass cleaner" can be very damaging to many plastic screens, goggle lens, and automotive type window tint (applied aftermarket), the ammonia is the problem.
My question was not using it as a cleaner, but a "preventive" to keep stuff form sticking.

 

Doesn't have to be an argument tomtt - maybe your rainX and our rainex are different ? Ours has ethylene glycol in it which isn't good for rubber or plastic (says so on the bottle)
Our Windolene has some a small percentage of methylated spirits (purple stuff) - good for removing bugs - cuts through the oil.
Steve-s right about a good polish - does help !

 

I hate bugs, too. All of them.
Except for wasps. They make me laugh with their little legs dangling... lol...

But Tom, I've used the rainx anti-fog on the inside and outside of my visor. I used to use it on the inside for fog, but I've used it on the outside as a cleaner, too. I never really noticed it "repelling" bugs or dirt (although I wasn't thinking about it, either). Seemed a little easier to clean afterwards, though.

 

Computer Monitor Wipes / Cleaner .......cheap and works great

 

Ethylene Glycol : a liquid drink to quell that noisy neighbourhood pooch permanently !
See ya later Fido

also known to keep a Hurricane from freezing in a Maine Winter

Don't believe it attacks rubber though it certainly does not help it on the long run and
on plex I'd say it's gonna make it pretty greasy and opaque even if it does act as an
agent to make water bead up

 

Shadow, I should have said "don't use Windex, on Lexan, I know for a fact that it makes Lexan brittle and yellow". In my HJC owner manual, I specifically suggests using RainX to help repel rain.
Problem I found with cleaning wipes was not "wet" enough to clear the dried (only on there about 1 hr.) bugs.
I think I will try the "No Fog", I will let you know how it works.
