It probably keeps that unsightly tar stain from forming on your bong...

Sometimes I use glass cleaner or rubbing alcohol if I don't have the time or what have you to pull the visor and clean it in the sink. I do keep it waxed with Mcguires cleaner polish to help with the bug guts and to help shed water if I get caught out.

Spray & Shine for a quickie. If the shield is off the helmet, warm water and mild soap, dry with a soft cloth. I never use a paper towel, they all scratch. For the dried bugs that have been there a few days, place a damp cloth over the shield and let it stay there for 10-15 minutes, then just wipe them off.
I keep a wet cloth in a baggie and a dry cloth in a baggie under the seat. Then I have something to clean my visor with all day.
Usually everyone around uses it too...
Amazingly a wet cloth stays wet for about 3 months. Doesn't smell very good, but it stays wet.

I usualy use an alcohol prep pad from work/ the hospital or whatever glass/plastic cleaner we have at home. I do want to get a small bottle totake on rides as well. Esp since that first bug decides to commit suicide right in my line of vision, after cleaning my shield.

Just water. Lay a wet microfiber cloth over the screen for about 10 minutes then wipe everything away. Those were the instructions that came with my husband's Arai.

Plain old water and a MF towel.

This is similar to what I did at work. I used the sanitizer wipes on mine. If I'm at home, good paper towels work.

And it never fails, let me clean my visor while I'm out riding and some huge fucking bug decides to spill his guts all in my line of vision. Bastards.

What the fuck was that? I know there was one night in late May when I was driving my dad's truck on the toll highway headed to topeka and we hit enough junebugs we had to stop twice to clean the windshield.
