Visor scratch removal?

[Akzle]

Helmet coming up for replacement, hence not wanting to replace visor, as helmet maybe different make/model

scratches only very fine can see in wet weather riding at night or fog

the thread dredge is 12 yrs old. at least I used the search function

i doff my hat in your general direction, good sir, for not fouling the internets today.


toothpaste is micro-micro abrasive.

you can start with 2400 grit wet n dry. then 0000 steel wool. then blunt scotchbrite. then jif on a cloth. THEN toothpaste.

You could also start with 80 grit.

Where does Brasso fit on that scale?

Also some commercial plastic cleaners out there that work quite well. Loctite used to make one that worked real well on our Polish aeroplane and on my lightly scuffed visor in the middle of Australia. Don't know if they still make it but.

Lastly, having had a go at refurbishing a visor, I think the quantity of elbow grease required to remove visible scratches and achieve a reasonable job will make a new visor seem dirt cheap.

theres a few different kinds, steelo and stainless steelo. i wouldn't brasso plastic and it stings the eyes, but grit wise it's between jif and toothpaste.

Shoei visors have a hardened surface, so if you polish out scratches, then it marks more easily. I found this after spending an hour or so cleaning one ...

Is triple action toothpaste better than ordinary toothpaste in this instance?
