New rider here...for rides in rain does anyone put any special product on their helmet shield / visor to help bead the water off?
Thanks for your thoughts

Sorry I'm just being a dumb@ss here but, it seem ironic to have a guy from Vegas giving a guy from Canada advice about riding in the rain.
Others have done it, but I would advise against doing so. I'm talking about Rain X. It's meant for glass, not your polycarbonate visor.
Here's a trick, if you're going fast enough, whenever the water begins to build up, just turn your head sideways like you're looking left or right and the water will roll right off.
Also try to avoid riding behind other vehicles where you pick up all their wash. Better to fall way back or stay out in front like a thoroughbred horse on a sloppy track.
Get a can of Plexus at your dealer and spray it on your visor and wipe off with clean, soft towel. It physically fills in the pores in the plastic surface making it super slick to water, it will run off very quickly. Plexus is also great for any plastic surface (helmets, body parts on bike,bike windshield, inside of car windows with tint, etc. It was designed for aircraft canopies. It works and is a must have on any bike owners shelf.
Not only visors but windshields, too. Use lemon pledge if you're going to clean and polish your visors or windshields.
