Unless my visor is really really cruddy, I simply rinse it with water as others have suggested, and wipe with a soft cloth.

Visors do have an anti-scratch surface applied, but its not perfect and once you get a deep enough mark, then this facilitates further scratches to occur.

If my visor is really dirty, then I use a very mild soapy solution. I dont have to clean my visor enough this way to really need to buy the more specialist cleaning products

Lawks- you should see the state of my visors!

Admittedly, my clear visor is unuseable now- one of the tabs that holds it on the helmet is broken.

But I think I was a bit keen with my visors in terms of taking them off and washing them with hot water and a (very small) touch of hand soap- there are stress cracks right across them.

Plus my dark visor is all scuffed up as it got a bit of a scrape cos of clumsy me. I can cope with it, but it's not ideal...

I just spit on it (my wife cringes if she sees this) and wipe it
with a handkerchief. Been doing this for 6 years now. Of course, the
visor has a lot of scratches but I can still see through it.

yup I have a packet of pampers (not tesco cos im posh ) baby wipes under the seat, they are great especially when your out and about.stop wipe visor - give suit a quick wipe before flies become welded on, then front of bike - throw away - all this with usually just one baby wipe. They are basically just water and mild soap, so dont cause any damage and you dont have any old bits of dirt or grit like you can get with sponges or towels.I did buy a V sponge a while back and the first time i used it destroyed my visor and had to throw it away!! Dont know if I had a bad one or not, but ill be sticking to me pampers from now on

Spit on the bugs and dirt. Leave for a min. Then wipe off with toilet role. Sorted.
