Pbassred Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Is there a chemical difference between Muc-off visor cleaner and any supermarket window cleaner? What about ready mixed screenwash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithers Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Is there a chemical difference between Muc-off visor cleaner and any supermarket window cleaner? What about ready mixed screenwash? I don't know anything about chemical differences but you run the risk of making your visor brittle or worse by using non specific cleaners. Visors are expensive to replace, usually just clean water and a soft cloth is suffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get spectacle spray cleaner from specsavers which is specifically made for tv/monitor screens and specs.They’re cheap and work well at allowing the rain to roll off.

XTreme Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Kitchen roll......soaking wet left on visor and screen for 5 minutes.......then lift off.Job done......no chemicals, or hard wiping which can leave minute scratches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleck Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I use windowlene or supermarket cheapo equivalent, it's only on for a few seconds so what's the worst that can happen. My visor is about 2 years old now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on for dried on bugs If I've access to a sink I go for running water to deal with good old blighty road grime otherwise Aldi windowcleaner & a microfiber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pbassred Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 I hope you avoid different chemicals for your visor. Though I admit I am a novice when it comes to chemicals. Being a chemical doesn't make it bad. Water is a chemical. I was asking if the actual composition was different to a house hold cleaner (which we spray and breath)You answer reminds me of the sales assistant at my local J&S when I told him that I sometimes clean my chain with paraffin rather than a branded cleaner. He said it might corrode the chain or the o-rings, but then did admit that he didn't know "what is in it". Paraffin is a light oil. Ignorance is why we give our money to big corporation ....... and governments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this sort of thing reminds me of the car oil v bike oil argument.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
