More In Hope Than Expectation

........probably not possible, but has anyone ever succeeded in removing a scratch from their helmet visor?

my virtually new Multitek has mysteriously acquired an irritatingly large mother-(expletive deleted) directly I front of my right eye

..........and I've only just recovered from the shock of coughing up for the helmet.....even at the bargain price I paid........

.......still, the glass-half-full part of the equation is that if I fail to remove the blemish and it continues to irritate, I'll have to invest in one of those grad-ed Bob Heath visors which I really loved when fitted to my previous Synchrotek

.....still agog to hear of any magic procedures.........Jiff

[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wifgeni.gif[/img] though there may be a problem if there's a coating (more likely on the inside).

Plast-X polish may also work if it's a fine scratch, or there's a product for plastic caravan windows (from Halfords IIRC) though I can't recall the name atm.

The old dodge for scratched thermoplastics like acrylic baths etc. was Brasso, though I'd suggest that would be your last resort.from a solvent standpoint. Simichrome is a finer metal polish, but with the same caution.

Then there's Colgate...............

Visor will most probably be coated on the outside...the whole hog type answer is here Visor

Toothpaste - That's what I was gonna say. Used by modelmakers to shine the perspex canopies of Airfix planes

........and sure enough, I DID try Colgate (literally), and waddayouknow, it worked a treat.......

Thanks guys....that'll larn me to base my predictions on gloomy ignorance....
