These could be abrasive, distort light at night, cause the plastic to become brittle, etc. I may be going overboard but plain water and soap does the job well. Why use chemicals when natural stuff is just as good with no side effects guaranteed?
    +1. I just use plain water. I take a soft cloth and pour some water on it. Then just wipe it on the visor 1-2 times with the wet cloth, then wipe it off with a dry cloth. That's it.

        had bought a small(easier to carry along) bottle of colin specifically for this purpose,

        would it be a better idea to pour out the contents and use a mild shampoo(johnson & johnson types) with water in can? shall this be enough? but soaps/shampoos too have chemicals, right?

        ^^which soap is natural?
        Keep the colin for headlights which are stronger than your visor. A mild shampoo is fine for the visor. Any mild detergent like a handwash, shampoo, soap etc is fine. Never use dishwashing detergent on a visor.

        P.S. Ayurvedic soaps are natural.

          Bathing soap specially ayurvedic ones have so called natural oils which will leave smudges on the visor. better avoid those.commercial mild soap solutions used for cleaning windscreens of cars can be used.

              Arrey yaar dont get so worried. Like i said, use plain water and a drop of shampoo (sunsilk also will do) if needed. Ensure to use a microfiber cloth so it wont scratch the visor.

                    Dude, it IS available on GP road - next to Helmet Paradise - They sell Cross, AGV and MPA too. I bought my AGV there. Think its called 'Sree Padham' or something like that. 3 to 4K. I got mine there.

                              • I am thinking of replacing my 2 year old Daijya ...

                                Looking at the options available in market , LS2 seems good choice , but m skeptical about its quality , whether it'll be upgrade or downgrade from Daijya ...

                                Also is KBC or Sparx worth for the price they sell ??

                                My budget is around 6-7k ...

                                And whats truth behind DOT / ECE certification ?? I see Cross helmets wid DOT certification ... are they really DOT certified or its just sticker job ??
