Can it be used on transparent plastics

Generally no. The increasing variety of various coatings applied to plastics makes it impossible to pre-test for compatibility under all conditions, and users should satisfy themselves by treating an area outside the normal area of vision. Please note that constant, repetitive use should be avoided due to the possible formation of stress cracking, especially on clear, curved sections

We've witnessed this first hand on a takeover. On-site maintenance had reported hairline cracks on the PTZ dome covers. When questioned turns out they where using rain x several times a year.

Would you on metro housings though.

Some (box) CCTV Camera housings are equipped with wipers. I wonder if there are any for Dome Cameras . Anyone knows ?..

What Security Solutions do you do?

No as it coundnt work. I have seen specialist cameras that spin an outer some to repel water. But if its an issue you need a camera with a flat glass to use a wiper.

Interestingly I just found this, which seems a very clever solution.
