Fine Scratches on the silver tint of this HJC motorcycle helmet<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nDepending on how deep the scratches are you may get away with just buffing them out with a power buffer and some cut and polish from an auto parts store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fully wash the motorcycle helmet visor and then use the cut and polish on a rotary buffer machine. I like to use a smaller Ryobi portable one-handed buffer machine for this process.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nIf the scratches are deep you will have to sand them out. Start with 2000-grit wet and dry sandpaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remove the visor from the helmet and clean it with warm soapy water. Wet the sandpaper and have running water placed onto the visor at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fully sand over the whole helmet visor with the 2000 grit to remove the deep scratches. Once they are out move onto 3000 grit sandpaper using the wet method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you have finished power buff a shine onto the helmet visor using a power polisher and some auto cut and polish. It will come up good as new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be aware that this process may remove the outer visor tinting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can you use toothpaste on a helmet visor?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Yes, you can use toothpaste on a helmet visor to buff out the scratches. Toothpaste is a very advanced buffing agent as it contains hydrated aluminum oxides<\/a>, magnesium carbonate, dehydrated silica gels, phosphate salts, and fine silicates.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThese abrasives are rough but small enough to buff out the fine scratches and swirls on your helmet visor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If toothpaste is good enough to polish your teeth then it is excellent for Polly carbonate motorcycle visors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe tip on how to remove tint from helmet visors is to use a power buffer. I have an 18v cordless Ryobi one plus buffer that I use with the cheaper Ryobi aftermarket batteries<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis buffer is small enough to use with one hand so you can get right into the small visor areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can use any auto polish but toothpaste works best for a cheap option to completely remove the visor tint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, wash your helmet visor and your buffing rotary cloth. Keep the buffer pad damp. Next, add a good amount of fluoride toothpaste or Auto polish to the buffing pad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I like to keep the visor on the helmet. Buff the whole helmet visor to remove tint and scratches. It will only take a few minutes to bring it back to a clear finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note that this process will only remove the outer tint reflection. So if you have a clear visor, only the outer color tint will be removed. If you have a dark visor with a reflective tint doing the buffing process will only remove the reflective surface.<\/p>\n\n\n

AGV K3 SV with dark blue visor.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nAll modern helmets have a quick-release mechanism for detaching your helmet visor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have 4 helmets at home for myself and the kids. All different brands, AGV K3 SV, HJC, Shoei, and M2R. Each has very similar methods of removing the visor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is usually a spring-loaded clip that holds the visor in place. Open the visor until you have access to the spring clip. Pull it down to release the latch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now you will have to slightly open or close the visor to find the perfect spot where the visor will pop out. I find that the Shoei is the hardest to pop the visor off as it is such a tight fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Usually, the sweet spot for removing your helmet visor is one notch down from the fully open visor position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To put the visor back in after polishing it up you just need to do the reverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to know how to remove decals and scratched stickers<\/a> you must use a heat gun to first melt the glue. You will then be able to peel it back and replace it. <\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to get scratches out of football visor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"How](\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/football-visor-polish.jpg\")

First, fully remove the visor and wash it with warm soapy water to remove dirt, dust, and bugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
