In Tirox's defense, we added the word "Polish" because many "cleaners" were calling themselves polish. Adding a little bit of compound to our formula would bump us up for sure. PLASTIX is primarily a quick plastic, paint cleaner which was initially created for matte materials on many new helmets and bikes and was water based with an additive to help remove bug enzymes. New formulation is in the works.....good review...thanks...Laughed our butts off at the one comment down there @ ****HUB

"The lens is cold because it's Canada outside" Best line ever.

FFS, I don't even own or ride a bike but I keep watching these. This guy is hilarious.

Time for the best KZfaqr Still dropping everything when I get the notification :3

These video's are SO high quality, it's fantastic

Fortnine's after credit scenes are better than Marvel's

I just got all the scratches out my windshield with a Dual Action polisher, medium cut foam pad and Meguiars PlastX. A lot of car detailing products transfer brilliantly to motorcycles, for a fraction of the price.

In my country none of these product brands are available except the Potato. 😂😂

The only channel, I hit like button before watching it

"Price bracket FU", I love this channel!

Pinlock for me. Everything else fogs up during winter commuting. Awsome review.

This video was so informative my visor starting beading off. Beading off hard.

Even if I weren't a motorcyclist, I'm impressed with your experimentations and data collection as a scientist. Thank you for the hard work to get the great info.

Can you guys get a patreon page already? Your consistent, high quality should be rewarded! You never settle! Much love from Australia, as always.

Love these consumer help videos, done with a sense of humor. Thank you Fort Nine and Ryan!

Thanks for doing the hard work, Ryan.

I only discovered your channel yesterday and I’ve watched a huge amount of your stuff since then. Great production and absolutely crammed full of well researched advice and knowledge imparted with some style. Great stuff!!

Time to feel inadequate again!

I haven't ridden a motorcycle in over 30yrs and yet here I am watching these incredibly well-produced videos. Bravo, FortNine! 👏👏👏👍👍

Meguires Plastic Polish beats em all. Handles heavy abrasion, even smooths out deep scratches. Have used it for decades on everything from convertible windows, cheap kid dive masks, and motorcycle stuff, including the plastic fairings. Outside the visor, the water beading that results is GREAT at speed. Inside, as a fantastic polish, it'll need a water tension breaker. Canadian Polish...I thought that was Maple Syrup and courtesy.

And so this clip is another evidence that F9 makes better and more relevant tests to motorcycle gear and equipment than any other channel or company. Great work!

Another great and useful article!!! Greetings from Portugal

I was lucky enough to fly helicopters in Northern Saskatchewan for years. We tried McGuires plastic polish but it was too slimy. Hard to get off. The best we found was turtle wax. So every week or two use soapy warm water and bare hands to remove the bugs. Bare hands because you could feel the dried bugs and loosen them up and off without scratching the plastic. Then a coating of turtle wax with a damp cloth and when dry, buff off. Slight grit in the turtle wax polished out minor scratches and left a nice clean surface. I still use that method on my windscreen and helmet shield. Thanks your vids. Well done and give me a good chuckle.

Because it’s the product I’ve used for decades, I presumed many people use the three stage Novus Polish (No. 1 gently cleans, No. 2 - removes fine scratches, haziness, No. 3 - removes heavy scratches and abrasions). Because it’s not reviewed here, I guess it’s not the go-to product I thought. Anyway, I’d like to hear an informed opinion about the Novus process/product. Also, I’d love to hear Ryan’s options about the best shields to buy. I stop buying Arai helmets (a great lid) because of the ridiculous price of their shields; more conversation on this would help sharpen my own opinions. Excellent video - thanks!

Pin lock visors are the best by far in my opinion, I've had one for a while now and it has never fogged even in -1c it is perfect.

Pinlock and heated grips were the best things I bought when I started biking

I use one single thing on my visor. It’s called VuPlex. It’s apparently from the aeroplane market as a polish and anti static. It’s also good for the rain and antifog. I use it on both sides and buff out after a minute. It lasts me for about a month before I need to reapply. I paid about $20 bucks Australian last time I got it and it’s a 445ml/375g or 13.2oz can. Spray on. Use a microfibre cloth

Ryan, do you write the script and the ridiculous, over the top, but still witty and funny jokes yourself? If so, I am very impressed. You present skill, knowledge, and wits, it's a pleasure to watch your videos. Keep it up!

A lot of products (motorcycle waxes & soaps) damage polycarbonate. I know soap from showering has ruined the polycarbonate lenses in my glasses. National Cycle has the following warnings CAUTION: Sunlight Heat Buildup Sunlight reflected off the inside curvature of the windscreen can, at certain times of the day, cause extreme heat buildup on the motorcycle's instrument panel and possibly melt it! Exercise care in parking your bike to avoid this. Park your motorcycle in the shade or place an opaque cover over the instrument panel. Note that this is a common issue with all OEM and aftermarket windscreens that have a pronounced or convex curvature. Sun-induced heat damage is generally not covered under your windscreen's warranty. CAUTION: Harmful Chemicals Do not clean acrylic or polycarbonate screens with common glass cleaners. The solvent action of the alcohol or ammonia will destroy the plastic. Do not allow brake fluid, alcohol (including Rain-X or similar agents), ammonia, or strong solvents to contact the screen, as permanent damage will result. CAUTION: Long Term Storage Do not use low quality vinyl covers or old shower curtains to store your motorcycle or your windshield. These products contain chemicals that damage the plastic of windshields and the motorcycle bodywork or fairing.

" kindergarteners on Redbull!" I love this guy! :-)

As someone in the NE US that rides all year, this is one of the most helpful videos out there. Thanks! 🏍

49 and just bought my 1st bike since my 2002. So much has changed when it comes to products and available info on them. Thoroughly enjoying your videos. I'll be sure to watch each one....probably multiple times. I will definitely not make any purchases without checking to see if you have anything on the item or its comparisons first. Thank you.

Another excellent comparison F9. I really enjoy the content you keep posting.

Keep up the honest reviews. Love your videos.

I've used Mother's Mag Wheel Polish to restore weathered plastic brake light and turn signal lenses on my vintage bikes. It's relatively inexpensive, as well as useful for polishing aluminum and chrome, does a good job of making my lenses look like new again. I haven't tried it on clear plastics you are expected to see through though.

Sorry, 2 videos, and definitely a subscription was in order. If you cast this to you tv or like me, my 92 inch projector... Just subscribe to this dude, get it out of the way... He put SO MUCH effort, and has done the research. He knows what he's taking about. I'm really not a big subscriber but for the few that I have it was definitely worth subscribing to this guy. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. Helped me fixed my visor my motorcycle helmet and my helmet within itself. I very much appreciate it thank you again!

These tested videos are very well done!

Motorcycle science! Great video as always, best content on KZfaq!

After a few years of watching the RF9 reviews/tips/documotodramas/motostuff, its become pretty friggin’ clear (pun, hellya!) that, there is no reason to watch other resources in order to make up my mind about something moto I am wondering aboot. Plus, you come to plainly know what is “...and that’s bullshit”, and learn wonderful new terms you can use to sound humorously hip like “kindergarteners on Redbull”. Thanks man, keep all this great stuff happening guys. You have a great squad there.

Living in the uk i use rainX on my car windscreen all year round and value for money its phenomenal, it lasts months and driving on (unlit) roads is like driving without any rain......AT ALL! but the minute you go under a street light all those tiny beads of water refract the light and make it almost impossible to see anything 😅 so use your wipers when traveling under 50mph and in lit up areas,but on the motorway and especially at night ! Except no substitute 👌🏽 i didn't know they did it for visors to so this is on my xmas list , and as im a cheep bastard im going to try the shaving foam for fog . This channel is absolutely killing it ! Love the content!

you should have used the non gel for the shaving cream it works a lot better

“The potato is also safe on everything cause it’s a potato” Lmao 😂

These comparison videos are absolutely mind blowing! Honest, straightforward and delivered in stupid man's language so even I do understand. Most of it. Best motorcycle related channel without a doubt!

Thanks for. Useful. Pinlock’s problem is that they are easy to scratch (as noted) and that with glasses on I now have three layers of variously scratched plastic and air gaps between me and what I need to see. The optical aberrations this creates at night had me opening up my visor until I dumped the Pinlock.

Probably similar to saving gel Before pin lock I used to use washing up liquid to stop steaming up .lasted a couple of weeks worked well .

Hey Ryan, nice video as always, something I've found is that Zeiss glasses/screen wipes work REALLY well to clean a visor, might be worth looking at :)

I have used a headlight polishing kit on a snowmobile heated face shield because they are stupid expensive, with very good success.

This reminds me of the time, way back when, that the tachometer on my new Honda CB750K1 fogged up inside.... My solution was to stand an incandescent 600 watt heart lamp some distance away from the instrument and admire the expected dryness a few hours later. This method successfully removed the moisture from inside my tachometer and also melted the inside plastic graduated number plate underneath the glass bezel. So my bike's tach, then featured the cool transparent look - like a naked watch that allows you to watch all the internal cogs and gears instead of telling precise time! I saved up and eventually bought a new OEM (Honda) tachometer for a lot of money.😢 Those analog instruments on the early stock CB750s were really nice of you didn't let your machine sit out in the rain and then try to dry them out.

Dat ending 👌

I was disappointed with pinlock's durability. Even with careful handling, they scratch easily. I also found them dangerous while riding in the rain, at night. Although there was no fog, the extra refractions/reflections made for blinding oncoming headlight. Streetlights made for double or triple vision. Fine review, and entertaining, as always:D Thank you!

Nobody puts in the work like you do brother. And the "Like Kindergartners on Red Bull" was hilarious! Thank you. Eric

Ryan, I have tried a TON of anti-fog treatments in my 49 years of skiing, snowboarding, and most importantly diving. I ran a gold dredge in a dive mask for 8 hours a day. When your money depends on you seeing where the gold is, you HATE fog. Johnson's baby shampoo...the old school "no more tears" stuff. Liquid gold

@Fortnine Could you do a video on how to modify a bike yourself? Like changing lights, seats, fenders etc.? Just some basic "How to's" would be pretty neat!

I use Plexus on my clear helmet visor and I'm very happy with it. The recommendation came from MCRider. He's not as funny.

F 11 topcoat does it all! Paint,plastic ,rubber,stainless steal,leather,chrome,bugs don't stick and keeps windscreens looking like the day you bought them. Also repels water like nobody's business! Works great on helmets! Cheers!! Love this channel !

Wish i had teachers in school that presented as well as Ryan. Interesting, funny, intelligent. Great job!

Awesome content! Thank you!

It's almost like you are spying on me. Couple of weeks ago I was shopping for tyres. You made a video about it. Today I was thinking how I gotta clean and polish my visor. You made a video about it.

Bar soap work surprisingly well as an anti-fog. You rub the bar soap across the lens a few times and then buff it down works great. Works for about a week or two in a number of applications like bathroom mirrors. Potato starch I believe works better as an anti fog than it does as a rain repellent

Fortnine is the the KZfaq biker community what Google is to the rest of the Internet: excellent, free advice. Keep it up.

Me: Watches new f9 video then check channel proceed to watch all the video's I can't remember to their entirety

Thanks for another great video! Could you possibly review the new Triumph Street Scrambler? I am considering getting one and I take your word as gospel.

As polish I use lemon furniture polish. It works great . For cleaning vinegar softens dried bugs quickly.

Ex London motorcycle courier of 15 years here and during that time of all weather riding I only used rain-ex on a few occasions, in fact I only recently installed a pin-lock to my visor which I wish I’d done much much earlier.

How to maintain your windshield and visor - Ryaned!!!!

It certainly is Canada outside. It's actually Newfoundland outside here.

I like pinlock lenses but have found that they can still fog if it is cold and damp (like in sleet). I think this is because fitting the lens at home does trap some moisture (at room temperature) which will condense when Canada happens ...

I have been using Pledge as a plastic polish for 35 years. I will have to try shaving gel and Rain-X. I appreciate all your testing. Thank you!

"Your face is hot. Congratulations."

Where does one buy a chalkboard in 2019?

You have provided entertainment, information, amusement and most importantly you have made me think about topics. Please open up down here in the states. I would rather give my money to Fortnine. Keep it up!

once again great vid. keep it up. I would like to share the hands down best anti fog hack with you guys, I'm a commercial diver, (helmet diving for 5 hrs. at a time) we VERY slowly boil down a dish soap, (it goes very fast at the end!!!) to a balm consistency. then buff it in on the inside of you viser and lieve it on, or windshield of your car , mirror in the bathroom, windows in humid climates. works on everything that fogs.... I have used this for free diving but its VERY painful if it gets in your eyes. tear free baby soap helps but still hurts.

Love the Vids bro good job

Great as always - Do I remember a potato from a "tips/hacks" vid from 2 years back? Have you debunked your own tip sir? :-O

I used to use rainx but have moved to visorproof. I commuted on a bike everyday for years in a rainy climate and found the visor proof to be a little better than rainx. It both beaded off water better when moving and lasted longer before re application. Its not very expensive on amazon.

I've used Plexus since the late 90's. I've never thought of it as a scratch remover. More of a cleaner with the ability to fill in very fine scratches. Novus Plastic scratch remover #3 & #2 will polish out scratches and swirls, then finishing with Novus polish #1 will bring a hazy windshield/face shield back to new. Once polished out I would use Plexus regularly to maintain the shield. Using Plexus on a scratched up, hazy piece of plastic doesn't show us how good a product it is even though it came out on top. Pinlockers work fantastic over the long haul!

OMG the beginning though I was like dang the quality is horrible then they lifted the visor😂

When are you doing best begginer motorcycles for under 5k $

yes excitement builds everytime a new video comes out!!! thank you

Bye far the best product testing on youtube.

1:35 buff that rifle nicely B)

Just use Pledge... end of story! Wipe criss cross never swirl!

Meguires “Mirror Glaze” is the gold standard for cleaning aircraft wind screens. They make a consumer version, called “Plastx”, which is available at Canadian Tire (or on Amazon). Containing a mild abrasive, it is good for polishing out light scratching and abrasion on MC windscreens. It is also great for restoring fogged plastic headlight or tail-light lenses.

Hands down the Best motorcycle content creator. All of your videos. Any one of them is great and absolutely puts majority of the content creators, like yammie noob, to shame

I hate pinlock. it always fogged up on me

Motorcycle product useful just about anywhere.... Uses it on a house plant!!!! LMAO!!!

this is legitimately awesome. Thanks for the tips! Riding in the pouring rain whilst you cannot see a damn thing through your fogged up, rain soaked visor is definitely one of my least favorite motorcycling activities.

who would have thought this gem would have come from Canada. thanks for the videos

That ending was pure gold.

Pinlock for my X-lite cost around 45e. But had it for almost 4 years and still works like new. Driven daily in finland so cold and rain 👍

I was turned onto Lemon Pledge by a Harley rider. I use it on my face shield and a wind screen with no problems. I let it soak a bit for old bug splats, then wipe the dirty spots off with a dedicated 'nasty cloth' and use the nice soft microfiber to clean/polish the rest. Smells good too. Available at any small town grocery store for under $5.

Keep up the good work and the quality standard videos ! Congrats !

Your great,i could listen to you for hours,great testing,no BS,straight to the point,you also live long and prosper.

Hugely entertaining and informative. "Because it's Canada outside", what a great line!

My visor kisses my dual action nano polisher foam pads more often than I visit the fridge. I can see why you have many subscribers dude :)

the peeled potato trick was also used as an anti-fog in the past, especially on race cars with no heating.

Your content is getting so incredibly good.

Best motorcycle channel on youtube.

After 50000 kms with my V-strom, the windshield was blurred and I got very good result with a highbeam restoration kit, which provides one spray and some discs and a fitment for the power drill.

I've recently had a LOT of luck with hand soap on the inside of my visor recently to prevent fogging. Just rub it in, softly rinse (but don't wipe), and then let air dry. I do it about once a ride but it works a LOT better than nothing (and I don't need to buy anything).
