Rapidly going off rain...

According to the advert, a little fairy goes a long way.

Then I use a TINY amount of the solution (after allowing the water to cool) on kitchen roll. Wipe the visor gently inside & out. Then repeat with JUST water. Then repeat again with dry kitchen roll.

Works a treat, and haven't seen any scratches. I figure there's a small amount of salt in the washing liquid, and I use a tiny amount of that, diluted, settle a little, a tiny amount of that & then I'm gentle. So the risk is minimised.

That's FAR too much hassle for me. I'm hoping the breath guard will take any effort involved in a fog free visor away.

The breath guard doesn't help much when the visor is dirty due to riding in the rain & road spray though

Best place to get the mask is?

Oh and be careful with Kitchen roll because that can be scratchy to...

*Liz says I'm a tad picky when it comes to visor cleanlyness

I bought my Foggy mask from my local bike dealer but I would imagine most places stock them. try M & P or Bustes places like that.

I know that some people use a thing called a V-Wipe that attatches to your glove its like a mini windscreen wiper that you can rub across your visor to clean the water and muck off of.

I've never had a problem with scratching using diluted washing liquid scratching, maybe it depends on the brand and level of dilution. I also only use Bounty kitchen roll as it's non abraisive. I use it to wipe excess water from newly developed film which is very soft and I've not got any scratches from that.

For getting rid of grease deposits I use a very small amout of meths, works wonders (cheap too). As always when cleaning anything you look through do not use too much force.

Every time I stop I need to lift my visor because of the condensation build up , so I really need a foggy mask. Will the foggy fit in my HJC CL flip front ?

Thanks for the replies, just bought a Foggy, we'll see how that works on Monday. ejohnh, on the packaging it says "Known not to fit ..... flip lid crash helmets" so I guess the answer is no for you.

Had a chat to the bloke in the bike shop about my pin lock misting, he reckons that they come with a hydroponic (?!?) coating and that wears off, best to get a new insert. I thought I'd try the foggy first.

Also got some Nikwax waterproofing restorer, hopefully that will fix my trousers....
