UK riders

Post by TC3 »

Just a heads up toUK riders. Every year Aldi do a 5 x 25 pack of wet wipes for 2 quid. They are brilliant at removing dead flies from scooter and helmet without causing damage as they co.tain a moisturiser and are soft. I keep em in the front compartment. They are at Aldi now.just a cheap tip

don't you find wet wipes leave a residue on your visor?

My bro has a dark visor and has no problems with residue. I myself automatically dry the visor with a cloth or paper towel so would never have noticed. The fact is these wipes are dirt cheap and very handy.

Scottish i just opened the new packs i got and agree with you. Last years packs were different and just tried both and last years does dry better and clearer.

I clean mine inside and out with cold tap water and washing up liquid.
Which also helps prevent fogging.
Which is nice.

I use "Monitor Wipes" for computer screens to clean my visor. They don't leave residue... I think they're basically some alcohol, some water, and a bit of lemon juice.
