Got caught

[dragline]

I live in Fla. and we get a lot of afternoon
showers , usually around 2:30 to 4:00 pm
Got caught in one of our showers ( down pours )

Well that got me thinking , what's good for rain ?
Eureka ! Rain X for windshields .That stuff works good .
You can actually.. Not use your wipers and it beads water
and rolls right off .
When you first put it on new coat even in a down pour
you can see quite well with no wipers .

So I wiped the entire bike down with it .
Shined chrome rather well & painted parts too :y115:

I'm hoping next time I get caught in shower
The water beads off & takes must of the road
dirt film with it and its easier to clean the
nooks & crannies

We will see next time

Also used it on my goggles .. sure it would work
on face shield too

Been done before on shields I'm sure ,
but wiping down whole bike is a new one
to me any way !

sounds like a good idea Wayne
however I'm thinking you wouldn't want to put it where you'll get run of onto your tyres.
it could get slippery.

Devo ,

If you wipe it on your tires
The water beads a way from the tread
and its as if your riding on a dry road

if you have a warp mind , like I do
you can pretend its SUNNY & MILD OUT :y24:

I think you need to now go find some rain so you can give us more feedback on this stuff :y18:

Finding rain is NO problem. Just ride most anywhere in the afternoon!!

I use RainX on my truck windshield. It works well. Plexiglas cleaner does the trick for my windscreen.

I used to be on a Skyline forum and a young guy was praising the benifis of silicone spray.
The next day he was crying cos he had wrapped his pride and joy around a power pole
You guessed it, he sprayed his tyres for that new look and got the stuff all over the tread.
