Amazing. I don't recall ever being so careful cleaning my visor - I think it's probably true that the compounds used have changed.
I'll give the Autosol stuff a go.

Not sure if this is available in down-underland, but it's a very good general plastic polish. 'not for use on polycarbonate' though.
As others have said, my visor only gets water, hand soap and fingertips. Night time riding horrible with micro-scratches.

Lots of things to hate about being constantly available over the phone, but I just love all the things it can do. Navigate, call help, take photos, and show me where the rain is so I can stay dry on my sunday ride-out. What it didn't tell me is that I had to turn around near the bottom of the hill because of flooding...

I've bought a tube of that Autosol product online - I'll report back once I've had a crack with it. I really had to use my glove windscreen wiper glove to clear my vision - imagine a country road that's covered in brown water and you're stuck in a line of cars that are basically vapourising it . The visor becomes impossible to see through and you either wipe it or pull over and end your journey until the roads dry out. I'll have to do it again next time I'm in shit weather like that, so unless I can repair the visor I'm stuffed. No amount of Rainex is going to help. What I really need is a pump-driven visor spray system!!
I'll giggle Xerapol ...

So no itchy and scratchy when you wipe in the rain Jon?

You mean like this! I normally stop here when I do my short evening run.

Ahhh, I see, that brings the problem into focus
Got me thinking... a lot of those new-fangled waterless car wash squirt bottles claim to 'encapsulate and lift' dirt away from the paintwork. Might be of use for wiping? Pending any chemical attack problem of course.
Sorry LJ, your thread is becoming 'all-bull-no-photos'

Lemon probably knew it’d turn out badly the moment he hit ENTER.

Whats the saying "Who can catch a Kawasaki?" 
That little Triumph is a lovely bike. I tested it this winter in touring trim. Definitely my next bike when the Lavs get too heavy to manhandle or throw a leg over.

I have always used one of these - the fine sponge is soaked in water and goes in the plastic bag - use this to get the bugs off immediately you get off and then dry with the towel by just damping not rubbing - lasts for quite a
