Misting mirrors

Post by Simon0867 »

This is an odd one but I find my PCX mirrors mist up completly while riding on colder mornings. I've had a few scooters in the past and I can't remember it happening like this before. Anyone else notice this ??

Yep same here.
We should try the anti-mist spray.

Mine fog over and clear repeatedly on my sunrise rides. Depending on temps in and out of valleys, forested areas, etc. Wipe em and ride on...
The real issue is the visor doing the same!

Give em a rub with some washing up liquid, stick a wee drop on some kitchen roll and wipe on.
Best done when the mirror is dry.

Washing up liquid applied, fingers crossed :-)
Looks like it's going to be pouring tomorrow anyway so misting is unlikely to be my only problem, the joys of winter riding.

I've also heard a cut raw potato will work, rub on, flush with water.

I heard Pledge worked so that's what I got. It works to a degree but my visors still fog up eventually. I haven't tired anything else.

I used to use the old style barbosol foaming style shaving cream on my snowmobile helmet visor and glasses, would help quite a bit when i used to ride sled years ago.
