I read that 303 Protectant is a replacement to Rain X for Helmet Visors. Does this product bead water? and will it damage the plastic, and reduce visibility?

I don't think it would work well for that. It is more like an armor all product than rainX.

This is an abrasive paste that will remove most anything. It will probably remove rain-x but so will any other abrasive such as plain toothpaste or polishing compound (which is cheaper than this.)

I wear mine on an old cut down base ball cap with no problems. I sometimes use a set of pretty heavy noise cancelling head phones with no problems. You will be able to modify everything to work well.... just take a pair of scissors to the cap.... make it look like the old visor caps. works great for me.

This is a wax, not a compound cleaner.I would think that this would not protect from headlights hazing.

I was gloss but as most products it drips off the sides first rain. I went with the 303 products as of most recent

this stuff dries hard!! i would use a cheap chip brush and the toss it. if you wear glasses,be careful not to splash on them. like i said,this stuff dries hard and can ruin your (plastic lenses) eyewear. do cover/protect surrounding areas!! good luck.

No. For dangerous chems I use uvex goggles that make a seal with your face to reduce the chance of things running into your eye if not directly splashed.

Being that it puts a "shield" on older worn plastic, I'm sure it will greatly delay the u.v. damage and fading. I was really expecting much less when I put it on, I have gone thru snow, hail, serious heat and many soapy hand washes, haven't reapplied yet and it still looks great,

I'd be afraid to try that on anything of value. 303 works great when freshly applied and dry, but wears away over time. On our Sunbrella enclosure of our boat, we re-coat it two or three times during the 5-month sailing season. Between coats, I find it still necessary to hit it lightly with an electric power-washer (1800 psi) to remove dirt and bird droppings. I'd hate to think what might happen to art work with all that abuse. 303 is probably the best canvas water-proofing around.

I have not used RAIN-X so I don't know. I really do like this product. It works best if you are not impatient and let it dry well.

I'm intrigued by the idea of a net over my bike helmet. When I slow going up hills or at intersections in the spring, bugs come through the slots of my helmet and I can't hit or scratch them as they enjoy themselves biting my head. Stopping and removing the helmet takes time and lets more bugs catch up. I think I'll try it and see if the air is too restricted. Great brainstorm! Thanks!

I have purchased Rain-X for GoPro and it worked perfectly. Due to it's nature it should work with plastic too.

I am not a scientific expert. My headlight cover had cataracts. The outside lens had a film which diffused the light and stopped a lot of the light lightening up the road for me. The outside lens cover was no longer clear. The product vastly removed most of the film. The outside lens cover is not 100% clear. I followed the directions and tried to get the outside lens back to its original perfect condition. But I got about 95% of the film off and the headlights do a lot better for me.

Yes. A little bit. Rain X makes anti fogging stuff but I haven't tried it yet. The fogging was due to my breath not the heat it keeps in. Its definitely warm though.

I'm not sure of what your question is about ,the housing is weather proof rain drops could spot the outside of the plastic lens. May have a problem if you live where the temps get very cold with pan and focus.

Not sure as I haven't used it on plastic. If you have any Rain-X TX options available (autoparts store...?) you could always clean bike helmet shield, TX half the shield with Rain-X then sprinkle water on both sides of shield and compare.
