I am now getting to the stage where the inside of my visor is becoming unusably dirty, but it's got an Anti-fog coating that the manual said not to touch or clean!
Soooo I'm not entirely sure what to do at this point; if I clean it the anti-fog will come off, if I buy a new visor it won't have antifog on it.
What's the best way to go about this?

what anti fog is it? pinlock? or fogcity?

 

[Killachipmunk]

Neither, that's the trouble. It's a coating on the visor, not an insert :/

Neither, that's the trouble. It's a coating on the visor, not an insert :hmm:

ohh right....ermmmmm...i ant got a clue!

Well it came on the visor itself, I didn't get any sprays or owt.
Google only comes up with temporary few-day application sprays... Idk

 

[MrAndy979]

oh right lol
does it actuly work? cos ino shark rsr2 visors come with that and my mate cleans all his vosor and it still work!

What's the exact wording in the manual ? Does it just say not to clean, or not to clean with certain products ?

I'd be tempted to wash it under warm running water (it must be waterproof at least) then leave to dry somewhere warm. If you have any oily/greasy deposits on it though, you're going to need some sort of soap to shift it. I clean my pinlock insert this way but with hand soap which I rub on with my fingers. I don't use a cloth of any kind since its made of a very soft plastic that scratches easily. After washing, I leave it on a radiator to dry.

Forgot to add, if the coating does get damaged, smear some clear liquid soap on the inside of the visor (you don't need much, just a drop). I found baby shampoo worked well when scuba diving since it doesn't sting your eyes.

That's the problem- I've just checked the manual I thought it was in, but I can't find any reference to the anti fog... It must have been on the visor sticker itself, which is now long gone

I've been thinking I might just wash it with soap, have a gentle go with a sponge in any places that are really greasy and leave it to dry like you say.
I'd much rather lose the anti-fog coating than be riding with this thing as it any longer.

Just rub the soap in with your fingers under a running tap, they're less likely to scratch the coating than a sponge and you can feel any bits of dirt rather than scratch them around all over the visor.

Good point, alright!
It will go on the TDL. Cheers Codey!
