just went to put on my helmet and noticed theres now 3 large scratches on the visor, these weren't here when I got home and nobody is admitting it was them, anyone know any ideas on how to get rid of scratches? They're right in my view and cant afford a new visor

Sacrifice the youngest one to the dark gods. It's the only way to find the perpetrator.

Cut the plugs off everything electrical in the house, take everyone's keys off them and lock all the doors and windows and then sit everyone down and dont let them eat/drink/leave until someone 'fesses up.

Wire wool is good, give it a good hard scrub with that.

After I crashed, my helmet has scratches on it.

I barely know they're there when looking through it. Just like I barely notice the scratch on my Computer Monitor. You get used to it.

This is NOT a joke, if the scratches are minimal, T Cut will get rid of them.
Like I said this NOT a joke.

Cut each person once for each scratch on the visor.. or spend 30-50 quid on a new visor. Could do both but who has the time

I have tried this before and it made the visor develop small cracks.

Apparently T cut contains petroleum distillates which attacks Polycarbonate.


You can get compounds for polishing scratches out of CD's and DVD's.. They are also Polycarbonate so I would try and get some of that.

I'd be more worried if there's scratches, has the lid been dropped?

cheers for some, erm, helpful? advice guys Razz and some actually is helpful! Dont think the helmets been dropped as theres only marks on the visor, and my sisters keys were next to it. Had a go with toothpaste and its got the worst off, still a few marks but at least I can see now!

One more thing, went to go out, and noticed something in my tyre, fucking nail in it Sad

Believe it or not, toothpaste will polish plastic in much the same way as T Cut, without the petroleum.

Also good for CDs and DVDs.

Edit: Sorry, missed your last post. If you need to polish more out, try a more abrasive toothpaste, then follow with a kids brand.
