k. i usually put it on there but sometimes i have to turn my head to get the wind to really blow the water off. but it beads off like a champ so i dont see anything wrong with it. all my friends do it too. a buddy of mine uses that turtle wax ice on his sheild. says it works like a charm too

I use Rain-X. That's what it's for, removal of rain.

Though, over a long period of time, it'll eventually yellow the plastic a little, but that takes a LONG time, and you'll usually replace your visor/helmet before then anyway. Waxing your visor with car wax also does the trick as well.
