Regular Rain-X is only intended for glass surfaces and does not work on plastic. I have heard that Rain-X makes something for plastic but have not seen it yet. I use ths stuff called Zooke which is made for plastics like faceshields and it works killer. I use it on my glasses too.

I use plexus, and it does just fine for beading up water on the outside, still doesn't do much for fog. By turning my head one way then the other, all the water gets blown off. If there is more rain than that, I can drop my head down to where the low pressure air meets the high pressure air from the windscreen, and that takes care of everything. Definitely NO RainX, they say not to as do the visor manufacturers.

I know this sounds nasty to say the least, but I read in Motorcyclist that one of the best things to do to prevent fogging is to wipe some good ol' spit on the inside of the visor. As far as for the outside, I wax mine or use Plexus.Warning!! Will ride at anytime for no reason.

I do use the Pinlock inlayvisors for several years now, imo the best antifog solution around, even if I try deliberately to fog the visor up it won't.
(Shoei comes standard with pinlock equipped visors so I hadn't to buy a new one this time.)
For the outside? just keep the visor clean, once riding in the rain all you need to do is turning your head a bit, the wind will do the rest.

The Nolan I have uses the pinlock system , and it DOES work fantastically at keeping the fog away . But they're often not optically correct , which messes with your head after a while. Plus it's a MAJOR pain to get out of there again .

WOW! Am I missing something???
I've used both Rain-X and Fog-X (just bought another bottle 'cause the rain finally showed up this weekend) and both work great! Water really beads up and just flings off at speed. No fogging problems with the Fog-X either.
Most likely the reason I haven't had problems is because I only have to use it about 10 times a year. Haven't used it enough to damage the visor yet. Didn't even think about continuous use. I usually go through two visors a year and a new helmet every two.sigpic

i only use Novus. cleans everything including bugs and scratches. keeping the breath shield in place inside the helmet, the only time i fog is when it's cold and i'm sitting at a stoplight or really slow in town. (20 mph speedlimit in our tiny town of less than 2k population) then i just pop the visor up to the first click, maybe a half inch open, clears the fog right up99% of the questions asked here can be answered by a 2 minute search in the service manual. Get a service manual, USE IT.

Friends of mine swear by this stuff
Explore the great outdoors with confidence, equipped with gear from Campmor - Your one-stop shop for all things camping and hiking. Find everything you need, from tents to backpacks, at unbeatable prices. Get ready for your next adventure with Campmor!
And yes that's really the name of the product...CAT CRAP. Skiers swear by it, and more than a few rider friends say it works great. I've yet to find it locally, and haven't got around to ordering any yet.
In the meantime, I was at my local dealership picking up some Winter gloves awhile back and saw this
Scott Anti-Fog cloth. READ THE DIRECTIONS.
I use it on my visor and it works fine. While on really cold mornings, you'll still get the visor to fog up a bit when you first start out, when you lift the visor a tad, it clears REALLY fast. After a few miles, I can't even get the visor to fog up if I tried.
