Smile Best Rain Repellent?

I did a search and what came up isn’t what I am looking for. I like the idea of pledge for the fairing for cleaning, but what about a rain repellent? Here in Florida it rains every day so I need something for that. I am also riding from south Florida to Georgia and then West Virginia to see family. I will ride in the rain as long as it isn’t a Florida frog strangler (that’s a lot of heavy big a$$ rain drops). I need something for the windshield and the visor of my helmet and maybe for my glasses, anti fog wouldn’t be bad either…any ideas?

Thanks.

Meguiers Plastex seems to act as a good water repelent for my windshield. DO NOT use rainx.

There is some stuff called Raincoat at this site: http://www.motosolutions.com/
(Not sure how well it works in a hard rain, the faster I went the better it worked, but maybe it was just the wind...)
Thanks,
Rod

I've had good luck with a light coat of Turtle wax on my face shield and windscreen.

If I bring my rainsuit, it will never rain. That is the best rain repellent. Seriously though, do you have a rain glove with a wiper on it? Very nice for keeping visibility.
