Bought this antiglare wax at the NEC bike show a few weeks ago. They demonstraighted it's effectiveness by continually boiling water and holding a treated and non treated visor over it to show results. Looked very convincing so like a 1st class sucker looking for good products to make my life easier bought not just 1 tub but 6 tubs for £20. And the results....

CRAP!!! CRAP!!! CRAP!!!

Anyone else have an opinion of this product?

DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP PRODUCT!!!
 
Seen it at the Scottish bike show a couple of years ago, and thought it might have been worth a try..............

Then read a thread about it (maybe on here?) that it was a load of shit.

You'd probably get the same effect if you just polished the visor with normal car polish.

I bought some at the NEC about 6 years ago, as you say, it's crap.

So what do they do at the show to make it work?

Maybe that's the product to get?

Should we all goto their stand at the next bike/car show and shout obsenities at the stall holder? :nenau
OR write to the BBC's THE REAL HUSTLE programme to get them to show this scam on TV?
 
I use it and find it ok. In fact some of my mates have used it too on rideouts and they thought it was good. :nenau

I think the trick is to not rub it all off after you've applied it to your visor. Ie you leave a thin film.

The effect doesn't last long, but I reckon if you apply it first thing, it should last you a day.
 
how often do you boil a kettle in your helmet:nenau

take it back next year and stand at their stall complain and keep complaining theyll eventually give you your money back:augie
 
Next time ask yourself this question ...

before you buy it:

If it's so good, why isn't everyone else using it? :blast

What about just standing next to the stand and telling anyone that walks near it that it is a scam? :nenau
 
I never made it to the show this year but it was my intention to walk up to a stand selling this stuff and give them my helmet and get them to demonstrate on it.If they would not I was then gonna produce the 3 tubes i was conned into buying and ask for my money back!
MY PERSONAL OPINION OF IT IS IT'S BLOODY DANGEROUS

What I saw thoroughly impressed me which is why I bought bloody 6 tubs! They boil water on their stand and the demonstrator rubs and polishes this stuff on and off and then using the steam mists their visor. The part treated doesn't mist up. They also do the same to half of the outside of the visor and poor water on it and the part treated runs off. The demonstrator spoke to someone in the crowd asking him to pick any tub because this guy looked sceptical. Using the stick chosen he treated another visor with the same results. I know that guy could have been a plant but he did look like a real customer to me, infact to others I must have looked like a setup cause I bought 6 tubs without question and walked away leaving the crowd to it!

I have the pin lock system but find I have better vision without it. I'm still using this pink wax in the hope it will get better but it still mists up when I stop at traffic lights, and the bottom of my visor mists up regardless and when it recently rained alittle I had to use my gloves to disperse the rain off my visor then my vision became blurry due to the residual left.

After I walked away and had 10 min to think about it I went back and over heard the guy say a tub will last about 3 years. I then mentioned I bought to much and the American man / owner said well you give it to your friends don't you? which implied i was being tight fisted. When asked where are they based he replied they only sell this at shows. So there's no come back if you are not happy - bastards!
 
You really are not having much luck with this motorcycling lark, are you?

It must be very upsetting. But cheer up, a mate of a mate of mine has told me about a new product. Next year a specialist company will be selling a yellow liquid which will stop your bike corroding. It is called P155, apparently. He tells me it will be the dog's.
 
Fell Fowl.

Think of all the birds that died for christmas, i expect those fowl would be in a foul mood.
 
I had something that looked very similar to this many years ago and it worked OK.....didn't last long and I could get the same effect by rubbing visor with a film of washing up liquid but it did what they said....for a short time :nenau

Cutting a potatoe in half and rubbing the wet part of the spud on the visor will also stop it fogging up - No, really.:thumb

Do you know me? Are you referring to this thread alone or have you heard about my RD350R experiences? I have been continually unlucky since July mate when I retuned to biking after 18 years when I bought my RD350. After a really frustrating summer I bought the GS in November as bike number 2. Still I can't complain I now have two nice bikes but not without sending all my money in the mean time!
