Mrs P has had the misfortune of copping a biggish scratch on her shiny Shoei visor...right in her line of vision.

Question for the great pool of KB wisdom (I've been doing a lot of this lately):

Can you repair/minimise a scratch on a clear helmet visor? (Shoei visors being inhibitively expensive and all...)

I was thinking maybe a CD scratch repair kit might be worth a shot?

ANy imput? Mrs P would be most grateful...(and so would I - an aggravated mrs P is not in my interests.)

Cheers,

PB/Ross (and Mrs)

Depends is it just the clear surface which is damaged? CD kit would probably work then.

we sell a product called Displex that might work... designed for cellphone screens etc
slightly melts the surface and moulds it back together.

Ebay...buy 2 or 3 at once to make the postage worth while. I got a clear, tinted and iridium visor for less than the price of a single NZ supplied one.

Be careful with that plastic melting stuff.. there used to be a product called 'visor clear' dont know if its still available but it used to work good.

i got a scratch on the plastic face of my tacho/speedo , used a mothers polish that is supposed to be used to get scratches out of clear coat paint jobs , took a while but worked a treat.
