How do you remove scratches from your visor?

[Silent Hunter]

Hi People, anyone has a way to remove scratches from your visors?

[prego08220]

Go ahead and get a new one would be faster if ur helmet is those $40-$70 one..

[Silent Hunter]

No leh, helmet is those $180-$200 type...

 

Anyway, got 3 visors with scratches

 

1 x Open face

1x Full Face

1x Flip up

 

All got minor scratches, hopefully can save them.

Full face got very deep scratches, Probably beyond cure, but good for experimenting on how to remove scratches.

So anyone with good technique can just post here I go and try them out.

 

Tried Banana skin, Tried wax, got a very shiny visor, but scratches still there.

Are the scratches really deep?

I use 'Scratch-X' on my justissimoGT visor, managed to remove minor scratches

[prego08220]

I think deep scratch very hard to remove..

[Silent Hunter]

Deep scratch probably no cure one lah, unless you want to sand paper away the scratches, and then use emery cloth to polish it, and finally use buffing machine to wax it until like new.

 

Thanks for the Scratch-X idea though, will check it out.

qn...

i got a full-of-scratch visor.

everytime during rain, the rain stuck there lar.

juz wondering if its a brand new visor, will the raindrops stay there?

 

P.S: i only got one and only helmet

[PinKcHicK]

sorry ah ts.. "tapped" on ur thread. hehe

[Silent Hunter]

The helmet is the one in the picture with the 'Juvena' Signature and Doramon one is it?

 

Ya, brand new one, water also will stick there, but not as bad as one with many scratches.

[kmax]

if scratch is not deep, just on the surface.. i use CD/DVD clean lotion to wipe away the scratch.

 

that bottle was bought during COMEX, to cure scratched CD/DVD, just drop the lotion on visor and rub off till it's shiny and clean, scratch also gone..

 

never tried on deep scratch before.. but minor one and dull surface will be shiny again..

 

btw... silent hunter... isnt ur Rjays comes with scratch proof visor ?

Brasso works pretty well for me.

 

1. Apply an even coat on the visor

2. Let it dry for maybe 1-2 minutes

3. Polish off

[Silent Hunter]

Scratch proof, Bluff people one lah... Use candle to polish, candle got 1 grain of sand from 1 scratch become 2 scratches...

[Strong Eagle]

I use liquid auto polish. Unless the scratches are real deep the polish does a good job of filling the cracks and making the rain run off the visor. Lately, I've started using Autoglym super resin polish (no, I have no affiliation) and the results are even better. Cleans up a lot of swirls, small scratches, etc.

[xiaowen]

Hi Strong Eagle, think your recommendation will be the best of the lot, since it can do both the job of filling in the cracks and act as a water repellent at the same time.

 

Any shop near the North part of Singapore where I can get the Autoglym Super resin polish?

 

And what's the price of the item?

[sheep]

use autosol and polish hard. no harm trying

 

autosol is abrasive leh... will kenna more scratches?

[DGray]

Can buff ur visor to a new scratchless one. But ur visor will b thinner lor....

[cbr600fw]

I use 3M glass sander. Dunno where its sold but got it from my company maintenance ppl. Its like a thin piece of sponge. Use it together with a thin coat of your ordinary wax. Works great even rids the screeching sound of my car windshield wiper.

use, rain-x. it's a spray thing tt you apply then the rain would some sort of drip down & not stuck there.

[dragonforce]

tried rain x before.. rain didnt really drip down.. in fact there was no difference.. its more for glass surface i think..

[brolouis]

I cant remember. Why dont you call him up and find out more. Quite a nice fellow to deal wif.

[allenkey]

if ur visor is a cheap one, i suggest go to lab and replace wif a new one cos its cheap. if ur helmet/visor is expensive one (arai, shoei etc) i oso suggest replacing wi new one... y? cos good visors have a special coating... that coating is quite thin, unlike the lacquer on paintwork. by using polish, u will remove a patch (larger than the scratch itself) of the coating... and it will b obvious.
