Nikwax Visor Proof Spray-On

Makes the water go into little balls on the visor which is great. I used this in combination with the V Wipe in really really heavy rain and it worked well for about 50 minutes. After that, I think that the warmth from inside the helmet caused the wax to warm up and the visor got smeary. However, it's not ideal for any of us bikers to be in such heavy rain for such a long time! Mine was an emergency so I do thoroughly recommend this product. I have been told by others that Sheen spray does the same though as it is sylicone or something (I am not recommending that you do this though!)

This stuff is great. I only ride a 125 so i never manage to get any real speed and rain was becoming a problem. with this stuff it isn't anymore. Some people say it doesn't work and others say it works but only if your moving. This is from my own experience using the product so hopefully will put some minds at ease before buying. Clean your visor first and make sure it's dry, apply a few sprays of nikwax to the visor and 1-2 to whatever your using to rub it in. Doing this it helps stop the nikwax from being completely absorbed into whatever rag your using to apply it and actually keep it on the visor. Make sure you don't rub to much or to little, if you feel you havn't applied enough add another spray to the visor and work it in. The next thing is, don't wash or rub the visor after it rains. This stuff is water based so it comes right off once you wipe the visor. I let the visor air dry after a ride and only reapply if i'm not using the bike again for that day or if it's been a week with no rain. I think this is where people are going wrong with the product and are rubbing it off as soon as they get off the bike so the journey home has no nikwax to keep the rain off and then they think the product doesn't work. The key is not rubbing it off once the visor gets wet, just let the visor air dry and only reapply once you feel you arn't using the bike for that day. Your probably thinking this stuff won't last due to me saying it rubs off quick, wrong. I leave mine on the visor for a week if it hasn't rained for a week and then i reapply, it might last longer but i only leave it a week. TL;DR It works, just don't rub it off once you get off the bike and let the visor air dry, only reapply after your done with the bike for that day or it hasn't rained for a week/have a lot of bugs on your visor.

I'd had problems with the visor of my helmet collecting rain drops so I purchased this to prevent it. A couple of squirts and a minute applying to the (clean) visor easily gave a week of the rain quickly beading off the surface to give a much clearer view. A ride in heavy rain quickly left the surface with a small amount of airflow and light rain could be moved by turning the head slightly so the wind hit the front at an angle. The only downside I found was it had the tendency to create streaks that were visible in some sunny conditions. They weren't enough to cause any issues but were more of an annoyance. I suspect more attention to applying it and creating an even film would resolve this. It's important to avoid cleaning or wiping the visor after applying because it's a film that stays on the surface so this would remove the film and give patchy performance.

Used for the first time today as it rained during my ride, wow what a difference! The rain beaded off my visor easily, giving me a clear view of the road. Highly recommended

Works.

I put 2 coats on my visor, it was ok but the droplets of rain did not disperse as I thought it would, I bought Rain X from Halfords £6.99 so much better than the Nikwax and cheaper

This is a "does exactly what it says on the tin" product, but it does have limitations. When its applied properly it clears rain from your visor very effectively, but it struggles with road spray and fine mist. So as I said don't expect too much. Muddy road spray and fine mist does stick to this product but it does wash / wipe off more easily. One word of warning, visor proof is water based so you have to wash it off before reapplying. If you don't it just runs off! A spot of washing up liquid on a sponge works great.

For motorcycling this has been the most effective visor clear solution I have used so far. On a daily 100 mile commute up and down the M5 it will last the whole duration if there is not too much muck in the road spray. The grime in the road spray is the killer as it appears to stick to the visor and prevent the water beading and rolling away off the visor. When newly applied the water will get blown off the visor at any speed above 20 mph but, as mentioned above, if road muck gets on the visor it does not matter how fast you go as the water just remains. So far the best solution has been to use the visor clear for the first part of the journey and once the visor proof becomes ineffective then revert to the glove mounted Bob Heath visor wipe for the remainder. An alternative would be to get a taller screen on the bike but I think the problem would still remain, unless there was a wiper system on the screen.

smell is not good it works ONLY for a minute.

Seems to work well in the rain

I expected water to just run off, but after 2 applications I realised it just makes the rain not pool so much. The water will bead in smaller amounts making it easier to see. So yeah... it's ok.

Je roule tous les jours à moto et lorsqu'il pleut j'ai besoin que ma visière évavue l'eau rapidement et dès une faible vitesse (40 km/h) J'ai testé ce produit et je valide sont efficacité. Par contre ils disent 2 pulvérisations mais c'est faux. Perso je procède comme suit: - Nettoyer la visière avec une microfibre humide (jamais de liquide à vitre ou papier absorbant car ça détériore/raye la visière) - Sécher avec une microfibre - pulvériser sur toute la visière (ça ne doit pas faire de gouttes qui dégouline sinon ça veut dire qu'il y en a trop) - laisser agir 1 minute - essuyer délicatement avec une microfibre (sans appuyer) en alternant les mouvements verticaux et horizontaux pour qu'il n'y ait plus de traces. - laisser sécher à l'air libre puis re-pulvériser / laisser agir 1 minute / essuyer délicatement avec une microfibre. A faible vitesse il faut parfois tourner la tête pour que les gouttes partent mais au-delà de 50 km/h ça part tout seul.

Water slides right out of the way when you're moving. Coating did not cause any fogginess or obstruction of view. Kept visor nice and clear.
