| Washing a mirrored visor I recently purchased a mirrored visor. I was wondering what fluid would be the best for cleaning?  I know with some cheap sunglasses some cleaning solvents will take the mirror right off. I have been using warm water but this summer I wanted to take a small squirt bottle and rag in the trunk and was wondering if anyone knew of anything that worked good. | |

| Re: Washing a mirrored visor find some glasses cleaner from a sunglass hut or something. you can also carry a small bottle with just water and a couple drops of dish soap. |

| Re: Washing a mirrored visor Soap and water. Honda Polish takes the mirror finish off too over time.

| Re: Washing a mirrored visor a couple years ago I bought a mirrored shield for my Suomy. didn't last very long. first time I tried to clean it the mirror came off and I was using just water. I was so pissed. ended up just wiping off all the mirror so I had a smoked screen.

| Re: Washing a mirrored visor I gave up on mirrored visors years ago and stick with smoke. I used to use water only and completely ruined one using a non abrasive auto polish.  |

| Re: Washing a mirrored visor Dark smoke is the way to go for sure. Unless you live where there are no bugs.

| Re: Washing a mirrored visor Thanx for the info. I primarily use a clear visor but the yellow matched my bike and it is so easy to change that I had to pick it up. I tried a little soap in water and it worked great. |
