R1caz Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 to clean your visor? I heard on the trade grapevine today that Arai japan are taking Autoglym to court over their Helmet and visor cleaner. Apparently it is petrochemical based and is causing the plastic to crumble and fail. It does not affect the fibre shell (arai only use fibre) but it "causing them great concern" and can prove their claims. If Arai think this is happening to the plastic on their lids makes you wonder what it's doing to some of the polycarb ones does't it! :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XT Alan Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I come home from a ride and put a wet piece of kitchen towel on the visor. Leave it for 10 minutes, then wipe it clean with the wet kitchen towel. Dry it with kitchen towel and polish with breath and a soft duster. Visors last for years this way. I replace my helmets every 2/3 years and have never had to replace a visor. I would say - NEVER use anything other than water to clean a visor.

Never mind you'll be able to get a bigger bike before too long!! Only kidding!! Yeah, wet kitchen roll is great, i use furniture polish after which reduces the misting up.
