I use rubbing alcohol for visors and my glasses.

I found alcohol to be good for cleaning, (my colon) but not so good at keeping shit from sticking to the visor. It dries too clean.
I use Plexus. Good shit. Poor man's domestically located equivalent; Lemon Pledge. JC

That was good stuff.
I think it was 98% silicone, and 2% whale tears. JC

Plexus is great for the finish, but to get the bugs and crap off easy, do this....
Get a washcloth, soak it in the hottest water you can get out of the faucet, wring it out mostly, and place on the helmet for 10-15 minutes. The junk literally melts away.

Meanwhile I have Plexus and the old Honda polish on my shelf. Unfortunately I have a bad habit of knocking them over and sending the nozzle off to oblivion. |

But you can also use Novus You can also get their polish to get out scratches. For other plastics I use Bug Slide... it works real well. |

This is pretty much my method. Lately I've been contemplating Rain-X or something to keep the water from collecting on the visor, especially on foggy mornings.
