Avoid the toothpaste. years ago that might have been a good idea but unless you find one with no "abrasives" you'll just ruin the plastic.

have had good luck with Zook'es for the glasses. and use an anti fog spray for the visor if wearing a ff helmet

use hand dishwashing soap. put a drop on your fingertip, rub it on, let dry, clean it off with soft towel.

Some ideas.

1. Shell makes a product called Plexicoat that's for aircraft windshields. Aircraft windshields are made of lexan or plexiglass and this stuff works great for bike windshields and helmet shields. It's a bit spendy but pilots bet their lives on it.

2. I have a friend who swears by Honda plastic polish from a Honda motorcycle dealer. Says it leaves a residue that prevents fogging. I haven't tried it.

3. Get out your flame throwers.

I use Pledge furniture polish. NOT lemon pledge which has acidic citrus oil (which is also greasy) but just regular Pledge. Couple of bucks at Wal Mart.

Hey, how long has it been since someone mentioned Pledge on this board? Do I win a toaster?

The reasons divers use tooth paste is because of the abrasives in it. When a new mask is made, the abrasive paste cleanse all the contaminants out. Saying that, I bought a cheap pair of clear safety glasses from Lowes. When I took them out of the case, they were scratched where the front lens rubbed the placstic cover. I used tooth paste to "buff" the scratches out. Now back to the point of the post, I'd check a dive shop, they sell anti-fog for mask that works.

I'm a scuba diver and the best stuff I have ever found is 500psi. You can get it at most dive shops or online, heres a link

If you do use it, a tip I got from my old scuba instructor is when you first put it on, put in on extra thick and let it sit for about a hour then rinse it off the lens under running water. It kind of lets the formula "set" in to the visor

I can not speak highly enough of this product!!

In the past I have played sports and to address the fogging of my glasses I used shampoo, similar to a post above with hand soap, rub it on, let it dry and wipe off with a soft towel.
