Lightly Scratched Visor

[Springbokki]

Hey,

Right, yes have done a quick search, tho couldn't find anything, not to say a thread isn't there.

Anyways, have an AGV Ti-Tech, and after all sorts of different conditions of weather riding, and possibly not the best cleaning methods, the visor is mildly scratched and low light is picking them up really (annoyingly) well!

So, how best to polish out scratches on a clear visor..?

[keith_d]

Maybe Novus No.2 plastic polish?

I read somewhere the visors have a coating to increase the shatter resistance that prevents you polishing the scratches out

Certainly didn't work on mine...

Buy a new one with a pinlock insert instead. My AGV visors were junk - had one second-hand that was scratched and scuffed within weeks, and a second one lasted about 3 months of daily riding before needing replacing. Got a shiney new one aftermarket one with pinlock fittings+insert last week and it's miles better.

Could you point me in the right direction?

In my experience it is not worth paying money to polish out small sleeks on a visor . They build up over a long/short period of time and then tend to raise their ugly blurry visioned head at this time of the year when the street lights are on earlier and the sun rises later or sets earlier . Buy a new one and bin that old one .

+1 It's false economy and a fresh new visor at this time of the year is worth paying for.

I found some for my Aria on Evilbay at half the cost of these two shops.

Whilst they might not be the pukka OEM, it'll be better than a scratched original

I must admit that my Arai Visor is on it`s last Winter now , I don`t plan to replace the visor , I plan to replace the whole Corsair lid with a new Arai before the next Season . The visor has done very well for a lid that has been on the road for 5 years in constant use , day in , day out .

That's a very expensive way to buy a new visor ;)

Yeah but it comes with a flashy new paintjob and less bugs
