Lemon Pledge for me. Works a treat and smells nice as well. Colleagues put me onto it years ago.

Been using All Kleer for about 5 years, designed for airplane canopies and safe for windscreens and visors.
Best to buy at airplane or pilot store...

Rejex
Better and lasts longer than Rain-X. Been using it for quite a while now on my cars and bikes.

To confirm, Autoglym Instant Show Shine softens bugs which can be removed and screen polished with a microfibre cloth. Leaving a surface which the water will bead off.

Baby wet wipes does the trick. I have always got a pack on the bike to clean my visor. Just lay a wet wipe on the screen or visor. Leave for 30 seconds and all the bugs come off without scratching the plastic.

Indeed this plexus is very sought after but it is a bit expensive for me.

For those who find Plexus too expensive, Honda "Spray Cleaner & Polish" is nearly as good at about half the price. :mrgreen:

Started with Rainx, but I've now moved to carnauba paint wax as it seems to last longer and does the same thing

WD40 polish and wax use for whole bike, best buy in ride test. Easiest and quickest product and good result.
