    Does anyone have an idea how to take the price sticker (or rather what’s left of it) without having to scratch the helmet with a bread knife or douse it in bleach?
    Now here's an interesting thought, is the helmet a polycorbonate one? (plastic)... the manufactureres advice for these helmets usualy states do not use, glues, solvents, solvent based cleaners etc as it can chemicaly weaken the shell... SO,,,, was the 'reduced price sticker' using a glue that is 'polycarbonate' friendly?

    Hot, soapy water is your friend. Keep chemicals away from your helmet.

    No. You are confusing it with Inox.

    WD-40 contains solvents that will happily break down plastic.

    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    haha those were seperate things

    I use it in a spray bottle, with water and isopropyl alcohol to disinfect surfaces.

    But I also chuck a few drops into oil burners, and onto a hanky to inhale when we have colds in the house. A few drops in vaseline on the soles of your feet helps get rid of colds too.
