Cool helmet shield coating?

Anyone have any good products that they use for rain repellant for face shields? I ride with a Fulmer 3/4 with face shield and want something for the rain. And I know I can't use Rain-X type products. Thanks.

Cheapest treatment is Lemon Pledge. Works OK. Other, more specialized stuff, might work better but costs more. Use just a little and buff thoroughly.

I don't have a helmet shield but use Plexus on my windshield and sunglasses.

I don't use Pledge on anything except furniture.

I use Eagle One Wax-As-You-Dry on my bike and helmet (face shield included).

You can find RAINCOATŽ Advanced Water Repellent Coating online for a reasonable price. One packet actually will treat a visor about 10 times, if you seal it up good after use. I have found a kit of 5 packets for $3.95 with free shipping before. Usually from paintball equipment suppliers. Works great.

H-D has a product for their windshields.
I haven't tried it on a faceshield yet but is shouldn't harm the shieldsas Rain-X does.
