Has anyone tried using this on a (plastic) motorcycle visor? Will it work?

RainX is not recommended for any surface other than Glass. It can damage paint and I would imagine it will turn your visor frost color and you will not be able to see through it. Your idea is interesting and I think there are wax type of applications that might work but I don't believe RainX will give you a very good result.

Often plastic lens eyeglasses have a coating on them. That is softer and scratches easily. Using this product on those glasses will make it worse. It will remove the coating. Yes I have tried it and found out the hard way. However, on untreated plastic, like safety glasses, it worked fine for me.

I used it on some clear plastic lenses. It left a bunch of small scratches all over. I wouldn't use it on anything I really cared about.

I really have no idea. It seems pretty useful for any visor so check the length of this Sun Zapper and compare it to your car visor. I am guessing that it will probably fit.

I used it on my new car headlights no problem; also used a "restore headlight" kit from seen on tv or "renew" not sure of brand but you use various grades of sand paper & using gloves apply a ketone :sweet smelling liquid which clearifies the clear plastic of the light- You have to be sure its dry - no water and no oil so wash well let dry well and cover for overnight setting( BUT SURE YOU TENT UP THE COVER SO IT DOES NOT TOUCH THE HEADLIGHT I USED NEWSPAPER DO NOT USE PLASTIC!!!. I then used the 3M 39030 as a sealer because the directions call for you to apply a wax to seal after you are done. It works - gets rid of you "headlight cataracts" anyway. Last for "a lifetime" of about one year then have to repeat. Did this on my '99 Camry; 04 Camry & 08 Prius. Hope this helps.

Most likely not, but, do NOT use the visor in airsoft/paintball. It is not meant for that and can provide a danger. It is for cosmetics only.

It does work on plastic. However, too much exposure ( moisture and constant wear ) may lead to dulling colors and chipping (I used this on bike parts) . I suggest spraying multiple coats.

It worked for my headlights but it probably depends on how scuffed they are and whether or not they are made of glass. I would only use this on exterior glass windows as it leaves a film to repel rain (That's the whole point).

Its worth a try. I used it on my carb screw stem on my motorcycle....it gets pretty hot and it hasn't unattached. Just work the putty well and clean the surface well also. I sanded the base first to get a clean raw surface.

This guy recommends this product on prescription glasses for motorcycle use http://www.motorcycledaily.com/2013/12/md-product-review-keep-your-glasses-from-fogging-up/

I think it would work well, assuming that the plastic is smooth and clean. Maybe making a little overlap may help to keep the tape in place in case it does not attach strongly to the plastic (for instance if it has a slightly rough surface). I used it on a bike which is old, and oftern exposed to bad weather. It has been lasting for more than one year with no visible deterioration

Yes. I have used them on three dirt bike helmets and two street bike helmets with no problem. I recommend cleaning the helmet area, and sticking the piece with the adhesive in the microwave for about 20 seconds. I know this sounds strange but the heat makes it more sticky. Good luck. Ps if this is for a dirt bike helmet, I also really like the goggle mount.

It won't cover the entire width. There will be about an inch of visor showing on each side. But it fits snugly on my visor. I have a ripped visor and it doesn't cover the entire visor length although it covers the width. I need to figure out what to put underneath to hide the rips. I'm thinking fabric tape.

I'd at least give it a try. This stuff sticks great to metal or plastic even though it doesn't penetrate or melt the substrate. For instance I glued a plastic reflector to a metal tube on my bike, and years later it was very hard to remove!

I actually have attached mine permanently to my helmet. Just "turned it over" and pushed it onto the edge of my helmet's visor. I believe, if your helmet has no visor, you could do the same with the shell, although I have never tried that.

I do not see why not. I have used it on ball caps and recently on a straw hat. This is basically a "scotch guard" type product.

Hello Janet. I would not trust it. Although it is made of metal and quite sturdy, made well. I don't thing it would exert enough clamping force to withstand the wind upon it at high speeds. It worked on the visor of my baseball cap I was wearing but I was very careful of how quickly I turned my head for fear of the weight of the camera pulling it off. I would definitely use a lanyard fixed to something stationary on the bike and connected to the camera should it pull free but there has to be a better product out there for the application you're attempting to use it.
