Not really sure how a hydrophobic coating would work on either of these though!
(Actually if you coated the outside of solar panels a hydrophobic coating could stop them getting so dirty - let more light through etc.)
Theres something I didnt consider...

The idea for my project is that if water can clear off the visor (hydrophobic) easily, then the rider can see. If its hydrophilic, then a thin film can form, although I can see that the problem with a hydrophilic coat is that each new drop that merges on the water film causes distortion...
