I got one of those free with a ride mag about 15 years ago. Still going strong ...
I reviving this now rather old thread I am hoping to find a modern day solution.
I bought one once from Rainbow in Rotherham. I am told it was a motorax or motorex product. Whichever one went bust.
It was a bottle of cleaning fluid ( replaced over time with constant washing-uo liquiid top ups) with a small and simple on off gate switch and a triangular shaped sponge thing which had a plastic cap that went over the front.
Highly effective and useful in the pocket piece of kit. If you felt the need to dry it most take-away places offer free tissues.. opps ...I'm told I mean serviettes.
Sadly after many years use the sponge gave up the ghost.
So 3 years since the OP Is anyone now able to tell me please where I might now purchase such a thing as this years bugs appear to be in much greater numbers this year and somewhat bigger and juicier than I remember.
Find a little spray bottle. Put your washing-up based solution in it. Find a little sponge. Put it all in a little plastic bag. Just how hard is it to be a bikermate these days?
Failing that. Buy an artificial shammy cloth (the real ones rot) and chop it to a size that suits you. Wet it with the simple water that comes out of a tap. Put it in a plastic bag, to keep it moist. In another plastic bag put a microfibre cloth or similar. I’ll leave you to work out how to use them together. I’ve employed this happy method for many years, without recourse to rebuke myself for my stupidity. Indeed, I think it’s genius in its simplicity. You will, too.
I have one.
Bought it in Maddocks, Bray, Co.Wicklow.
Check...

I paid a tenner for it and top it up with Muc-off visor cleaner when it needs topping up.
I'll take a pic later to see if there is a brand on it.

Thank you Younger6 and NIN both of you restored my belief that I had described the object adequately
Ah but I use mine with a piece of faded yellow microfibre cloth, that I don't keep in a zip lock bag. Does that make me a heretic?
Kill him! Kill him with burning pitchforks!
The MZ Club suggestion was a cut off washing up bottle. Fairy liquid is best. Don’t be too cheap. Stick it on the petrol filler cap with blue tac. A washing up sponge on a stick lets you swab soapy water over your visor.
What more could you want?
