    This thread might have some useful info.

    First bike? Old rider that learned a new lesson?

    Personally I just use my thumb. My glove has a seam there that is a perfect wiper. Some gloves actually have a rubber strip sewn in just for that.

      any good car polish wax will repel water much like rain x will.
      the Honda spray polish works good

            NikWax shield protector. Spray it on, rub it in, deflects the rain pretty good. Expensive, though. But I live in Seattle....got to do something when you ride every day.

              I pop the shield off of my helmet, and apply S100 wax to outside, and then buff it off. Works pretty good.

                Yeah, a waxed shield works well.

                  I've tried most things on the marked but this is the best one.
                  Heated grips come in handy to dry out your gloves while riding as well.

                    I have heard waxing the visor will help the rain bead off the plastic.
                    That is what I do. I just wax my helmet about every 3 weeks....works great.

                          Don't ride in the rain?

                          Just kidding. I turn my head side to side too.

                            That's genius.

                              JR Nitrogen gloves also have a squeege built in. That and some Turtle Wax Platinum wax on the shield every couple of weeks Plus on the slab a twist of the head left and right will clear the drops quickly.
