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! :?:

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.

i use water and paper towel!!... 8)

What Alan said! 8)

Good I only ever use water but it makes me wonder what is happening to others

Iv'e used that method, but gota admit Iv'e also used window cleaner :oops:, it did do it allright though.

But after reading Alans theory I'll do that from now on :wink:

Only warm water an kitchen roll,an like Alan said leave a wet paper towel over the visor for a few mins an it'll get the dead bugs off as good as owt else.

bug & tar remover with a bit of Vim works wonders :wink: but failing that...household polish 8)

or buy a 50cc. i hardly get any flys to remove, its like 1 every blue moom and wet paper towel does even need to be left on, just a quick wipe and volla!

Same with me. Nothing to remove, just a quick touch up every month or so

With a 50, the flys have time to get outta the way :wink:

Being a year-round rider, I've been known to use good ol' car wax on Both sides of the visor :wink: .......works wonders!....especially when the Liquid is about 8)

:what Bet you get more on the back of your helmet than on the 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.

Bet you get more on the back of your helmet

The only thing skyline will be getting on his helmet now he's a Honda owner is bits of man turd!

I use baby wipes, and then buff off with kitchen towel!
