Title: 3m headlight restorer on helmet visor? would it work?
Post by: live2ride on May 11, 2011, 08:31:04 PM
i'm assuming the visor is polycarbonate. 

i don't see why not, but would like to hear some feedback before i try it.  only have 1 visor and no replacements avail.

i have an airoh tr2.  its the only helmet i have ever found that fits correctly.  more importantly, its the only helmet i can wear that doesn't give me a horrendous pain in my temple after a few hours of wearing it.

problem is that its only available overseas and now apparently discontinued.  Its a clear shield but now has a slight scuff mark that's slightly in my view.  doesn't wipe away and i'm hoping i can sand and polish it.  could this be bad in any way?

I'm sure you can find someone to tell you the optics will be off, but I don't know....

Test it on an area that isn't in your field of vision?

Just called 3M tech line and they say probably not a good idea.

What size TR2? I bought an XL and it doesn't fit me quite right, we could probably work something out. Not willing to part the visor only though, the helmet is brand new.

thanks.  i guess i'll have to live with it now.  if it becomes really bad, i guess i'll try it then.

I used rubbing compound on my shark visor after I scratched it.  It polished up well, but your scratch might be too deep
