Pinlocks are easy enough to care for. What needs to be avoided is marking them. They're soft and once marked they can't be fixed.
I trashed my first one by shoving my gloves inside the helmet. The gloves left some lines that couldn't be removed. I still shove my gloves in the helmet, but I'm much more careful now.

Re: pin lock face sheilds
An alternative to pin lock and wipe on solutions may be look at double wall snow mobile helmet shields and heated shields.

Weird, I never had such a problem with Scorpion shields. I wonder if you had a defective one?

I made an ant farm out of my pinloc and they keep it quite clean.
Although they make me go cross eyed watching them when it's going to rain

Well, I thought that was probably the case, so I returned it to the place I bought the helmet. They gave me another one and it was not much better, but tolerable. It may be that I had gotten used to my old helmets' visor-a Shoei . Shoei's shields are aircraft quality. If clean, you literally cannot tell that you are looking through anything at all.
