Nikwax Visor Proof Spray-On

This stuff is great.I only ride a 125 so i never manage to get any real speed and rain was becoming a problem. with this stuff it isn't anymore.Some people say it doesn't work and others say it works but only if your moving.This is from my own experience using the product so hopefully will put some minds at ease before buying.Clean your visor first and make sure it's dry, apply a few sprays of nikwax to the visor and 1-2 to whatever your using to rub it in. Doing this it helps stop the nikwax from being completely absorbed into whatever rag your using to apply it and actually keep it on the visor. Make sure you don't rub to much or to little, if you feel you havn't applied enough add another spray to the visor and work it in.The next thing is, don't wash or rub the visor after it rains. This stuff is water based so it comes right off once you wipe the visor. I let the visor air dry after a ride and only reapply if i'm not using the bike again for that day or if it's been a week with no rain. I think this is where people are going wrong with the product and are rubbing it off as soon as they get off the bike so the journey home has no nikwax to keep the rain off and then they think the product doesn't work. The key is not rubbing it off once the visor gets wet, just let the visor air dry and only reapply once you feel you arn't using the bike for that day.Your probably thinking this stuff won't last due to me saying it rubs off quick, wrong. I leave mine on the visor for a week if it hasn't rained for a week and then i reapply, it might last longer but i only leave it a week.TL;DR It works, just don't rub it off once you get off the bike and let the visor air dry, only reapply after your done with the bike for that day or it hasn't rained for a week/have a lot of bugs on your visor.

This stuff is brilliant. I ride all year round in all conditions doing an 80mile/day commute on the motorway.Clean the visor first with water (I usually don't even do this), then spray on the Nikwax and rub off with one of those lint cloth things (rub horizontally so the water disperses to the sides). It's like getting a new visor - the beads of water just rolls off. It needs reapplying often (probably every 50-100 miles) depending on the conditions/usage/dirt. It's a must for the biker who refuses to be beaten by the rain. Ride safe!

Makes the water go into little balls on the visor which is great. I used this in combination with the V Wipe in really really heavy rain and it worked well for about 50 minutes. After that, I think that the warmth from inside the helmet caused the wax to warm up and the visor got smeary. However, it's not ideal for any of us bikers to be in such heavy rain for such a long time! Mine was an emergency so I do thoroughly recommend this product.I have been told by others that Sheen spray does the same though as it is sylicone or something (I am not recommending that you do this though!)

My commute is about 2 miles of suburban at each end of 10 miles of dual carriageway. This stuff is OK when I set off, the rain beads-up and runs off the sides of my visor. It doesn't work properly until I get to about 50mph, but has gone before I arrive and the rain no longer runs off my visor. That's less than 30 minutes of rain riding, not very impressive. I'll use it until the bottle runs out, but I won't buy any more.

Previously i have used Rainex on an old Mini (Years Ago) that i had Windscreen wiper issues with and was totally amazed by just how good it was so i was kinda hoping this would be the same. This however isn't anywhere near as good as that but i am aware this is on plastics rather than glass so it has to be a different formula.But that said it's far better than having nothing on the visor when riding at night it does a fairly decent job helping keep my visibility up but it's about 70% as efficient as Rainex used to be on glass.

Used this on our helmet visors and whilst i thought mine was working, the other half reported his helmet was no different in the rain.His helmet still had rain drops on the visor which didn’t appear to bead and run off like we expected from the description and also how mine reacted.No idea why it appeared to work on one and not the other as he applied it to both helmets at the same time, so they should have faired equally.So, we have mixed opinions on this product.

As anyone who rides a motorcycle year round knows the way to clear the visor is either a V-wipe or a turn of the head if the speed is sufficient to get the water to blown off by the wind. Applying this to the visor significantly reduces the speed at which the visor can be cleared and even helps keep it clear without the need to turn into the slipstream. It does need to be applied regularly, perhaps every other day when the weather is poor as the efficacy reduces with time.

I use this on every journey: It beads very easily, even at low speed. You don't need to turn your visor the side to stream the drips away. In constant rain, you need to reapply every hour to get the full benefit.

Je roule tous les jours à moto et lorsqu'il pleut j'ai besoin que ma visière évavue l'eau rapidement et dès une faible vitesse (40 km/h)J'ai testé ce produit et je valide sont efficacité. Par contre ils disent 2 pulvérisations mais c'est faux. Perso je procède comme suit:- Nettoyer la visière avec une microfibre humide (jamais de liquide à vitre ou papier absorbant car ça détériore/raye la visière)- Sécher avec une microfibre- pulvériser sur toute la visière (ça ne doit pas faire de gouttes qui dégouline sinon ça veut dire qu'il y en a trop)- laisser agir 1 minute- essuyer délicatement avec une microfibre (sans appuyer) en alternant les mouvements verticaux et horizontaux pour qu'il n'y ait plus de traces.- laisser sécher à l'air libre puis re-pulvériser / laisser agir 1 minute / essuyer délicatement avec une microfibre.A faible vitesse il faut parfois tourner la tête pour que les gouttes partent mais au-delà de 50 km/h ça part tout seul.

I've used several bottles of this stuff on countless Shoei and Arai heltmet visors. It does an excellent job of repelling rain as well as limiting the "sticking" force of bugs during those warm summer night rides.

Worked great for my son's hockey fish bowel.

Love it. Applies easily, a little goes a long way, and it did an excellent job of making the water bead off for unimpeded visibility even in heavy rain.Used on my full face helmet's visor for a daily commute in the rainy Toronto spring.

Have tried other visor anti fog, sprays and this seems to work really good. Need to try it out in a rainstorm to see if it beads off without causing more glare from oncoming car headlights. Goes on easy, and buffs off without any haze. Even tried it on my lexan windshield to see if the bugs will clean off easier.

Works as expected... haven't got heavy rains yet but from the tests I made, it's good.

Not what I wanted it to be

Tel que decrit. Produit de qualité. Application regulier recommandé en cas de pluie excessive.

Must have

It works well, water beads and runs off my visor.

great product

I have been using this product for a little over a year and so far it has lived up to expectations and works very well. Before Nikwax I was using Motosolutions Rain Coat which is vastly inferior (think little sugar packet sized pouches of TurtleWax). The Nikwax goes on much easier, doesn't require buffing and sheds rain really well. Similar to Rain-X for a car. I've had the same bottle for about 14 months and it is nowhere near empty and I commute every day rain or shine. As some other reviewers have pointed out, the only drawback is forgetting to apply it. I generally check the forecast and if it is supposed to rain I'll apply it at the start of the week. Even if I forget there is usually enough residual stuff on my visor that it beats an untreated visor.

While this product does work compared to no product at all, it does it quite poorly. I used this on my motorcycle helmet visor for commuting in Seattle. After following directions and trying it out, it works...for about 1 ride before needing to be reapplied. It did not work on slower speed or with heavy fog (misting). I've tossed this product for RainX for Plastic which seems to work as well as normal RainX and doesn't seem to wash off with the rain.

Two items were shipped in a soft envelope (a poor choice!). Cap was off one item, handle apparently pressed on other. Result: Spent material had saturated the envelope, which was mostly open with lots of liquid material in envelope which spilled on clothing, etc. Result: BIG MESS AND WASTE OF PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!
