Rain-X for plastic ?

[kballowe]

Has anyone used Rain-X for plastic on their motorcycle windshields?

[chuck peterson]

Nope, but I’ve been extolling the virtues of the original rain-x since it first came out, and now their wiper blades, so I would not hesitate to give it a try. There’s a wiper fluid too

It’s crazy how well it works on my cars. It’s hard to explain…water just beads and rolls up off the windshield at hiway speeds,and freaky that you can turn the blades off….less so around town but still you can see thru it.

One of those rare “As Seen on TV” products that work

Rain X make a specific solution for visors and screens, called
'Rain X plastic water repellent'.

Yes, I have used it on my EV windscreen. Works good, much like the product for glass

Skid lid is on the front cover

Been using it on (plastic) helmet visors since RainX came out!!!  Works great!

    I've been using Rain X on windshields of cars and 'planes and face shields since it came on the market in 1972.

Does it work any better than lemon pledge on the visor?

[73 sport]

    Lemon Pledge contains waxes which will build up thick films over time and may discolor the plastic. Rain X is a silicone base with alcohol solvents. I've been using it since it came on the market and have never seen a film or discoloration.

I have used those type products in the past. However I found many years ago that just waxing my MC shields, same wax and technique as waxing the vehicle, repels rain for months or several rain storms.

[73 sport]

      Contemporary Pledge doesn't contain wax. The Pledge I knew 50 years ago did contain wax. I don't keep up with product development as I used to do.

Car wax works a treat.  I avoid anything with silicone on any plastic like the plague.
NixWax VisorProof if you must.

Take it from someone that almost ruined his brand new 2000 BMW K1200LT windscreen. Rain-x is a great product but be aware of one thing, it is NOT to be used on any windscreen that has a coating on it, like a lexan windscreen does. Always consult the manufacturer on the windscree before using it. As long as it is acrylic with no coating, you're good. The rain-x will soak into the porous coating/film and creat bubbles, once dried they are in there forever. Mine diminished over time but never went away.

 recently used NOVIS plastic polish all over both Guzzi's and works well.  From taking swirl marks out of windshield, headlamps, making the dash and instrument panel as new!
