It's been over 3 years me and my trusty lid...3 years of rain, sun, dust, finger prints and the list goes on.

I regularly wash my lid and paid little attention to the shield and simply soaped & wipe 'em dry and maybe apply RainX once in a while. Today as I assembled by helmet I decided to treat my shield to something extra.

A polish!!!---I used a 3M Plastic Polish which I bought for polishing badly scratched optical disk(e.g. LD, CD, DVD). I also use the polish for my plastic headlight covers, signal & brake light covers.

Note that I used this on a lexan shield so do try this on a small spot on your shield first just "in case". In case you shields are "sensitive" as I've seen on some known brands which peel or react violently to chemicals not to mention extreme local climate.

After 10 minutes of Karate Kid moves(wipe on, wipe off)---VOILA!!!

No it doesn't remove deep scratches but it restored the optics of my shields just like when I got them. :8


CHeers!!!

Thanks for the lesson, bro!!! Ride safe! :punk:

Hi Dondi.. how much does 3m polish cost?

hmmm...bought it early last year in TrueValue so...between 100-300(?If I remember right?) :D.

Sorry not much help on the price but assuming it's around Php300 it's really worth it.

HELMET SHIELD USE

Clean/Wash & Dry shield prior to polishing.

Use clean soft basahan for applying & buffing.


OPTICAL DISK USE---PLEASE NOTE the proper way of polishing/wiping your disks...

DO apply light and gentle strokes.

DO use cloth recommended by disk polishing/cleaning kits (lint free).

DO wipe from center to the outer edge.

DON'T wipe radially

DON'T use just any basahan.


Safe ride guys!!!

Thanks man! check it out asap! ;)
