It might be good on glass, but not so much on plastic.

Of course it says to only use HD products, but the suggestions here are good, like Plexus and Cee Baileys.

My owners manual says a lot of crap that I choose to ignore, along with the good information that it provides. The Rain X Formula for glass should not be used on plastic, but they came out with one formulated for plastics but it doesn't work so good.

I may have to give this stuff a try. Unfortunately I have to ride in the rain more than I want to, so I am always looking for the best product to keep those beads of water moving faster. The worst part of riding in the rain is the reduced visibility and a very close second is cleaning the bike afterwards.
