HG Visor Cleaner is (was mainly) Isopropyl.
Meths would probably do it.
I do not get much more than a year out of a visor and use tint, iridium or my sun-shade-thing inside the helmet. (Which is Iridium now too. )
The duct/duck/gaffa tape adhesive probably does as much 'harm' as a cleaner would do or is there no advice/myth for duct tape adhesives yet? ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |

You can get food-grade mineral oil, for treating wooden chopping boards and such, which I find is quite good at getting sticky tape residue off things, and I imagine* being food-grade it will be fairly innocuous chemically and not melt your visor.

Thanks for all the tips - appreciated. Buying a second visor for winter use is undoubtedly the best - but shit, £60 for my Neotec? Hmm, will have to think about that one. FWIW I also emailed the helpline of my helmet manufacturer (Shoei) - when you pay that much dollah for a crash hat you hope someone might get back to you - they did:
Shoei wrote: | the advice I have to give you is Shoei's general advice which does not recommend using anything other than water and a mild soap the clean helmets and if there are any adverse effects to your helmet as a result of using anything else, it would not be covered under the warranty.
That being said, if you wanted to, we have used isopropanol to remove remnants of adhesives on helmets, you can simply put some on some kitchen paper or soft cloth and wipe the affected areas which we've found to be very useful. We'd strongly advise against using anything like acetone which will strip the paint off the helmet. |
So, amidst the arse covering (and they were clearly referring to the helmet shell rather than the visor - don't know if they are odentical materials or if that makes any difference?), they suggest isopropanol - nice one fireyphoenix!
Thanks that's really interesting. The paraffin gave me a "WTF? Really?" moment before I read the datasheet and found that it also listed "kerosene" (aka paraffin in Merican-speak) to which Perspex is "not resistant". Guessing that the 'paraffin' on the list (graded "resistant", ie safe) is actually the pharmaceutical grade stuff you can buy at the chemist to treat constipation etc. )
But then again, "Petrol" is graded "limited resistance" whereas "Gasoline" and "Premium petrol" are both graded "resistant" which is a bit... weird. Mind you, I'm delighted to see several other potential cleaners make the cut for "resistant", including beer, chocolate, tea and cement. So plenty of choice there.
Interestingly, on the other hand isopropyl alcohol (ie, isopropanol) scores only "limited resistance". Maybe better stick with chocolate then. ____________________ KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS->R1250RS |
