Nikwax Visor Proof Spray-On

Works.

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.

I'd had problems with the visor of my helmet collecting rain drops so I purchased this to prevent it. A couple of squirts and a minute applying to the (clean) visor easily gave a week of the rain quickly beading off the surface to give a much clearer view. A ride in heavy rain quickly left the surface with a small amount of airflow and light rain could be moved by turning the head slightly so the wind hit the front at an angle.The only downside I found was it had the tendency to create streaks that were visible in some sunny conditions. They weren't enough to cause any issues but were more of an annoyance. I suspect more attention to applying it and creating an even film would resolve this.It's important to avoid cleaning or wiping the visor after applying because it's a film that stays on the surface so this would remove the film and give patchy performance.

I put 2 coats on my visor, it was ok but the droplets of rain did not disperse as I thought it would, I bought Rain X from Halfords £6.99 so much better than the Nikwax and cheaper

Used for the first time today as it rained during my ride, wow what a difference! The rain beaded off my visor easily, giving me a clear view of the road. Highly recommended

Great product, have been using for years, riding about 100 miles daily in all weather. Would recommend

Been using this for a few years now and it reduces the amount of water on the visor. It can leave the visor a bit streaky at times if you don’t ensure it is wiped in but would highly recommend it.
