Thanks for the tips, I did a clear motorcycle helmet face shield today which was badly scratched on the inside. I did 600, 1000, 2000, then Meguier's Swirl Remover. I had a lot of haze/fog after the 2000 grit. I found I needed to put the Meguier's on a cloth (liberally) and really press hard on the plastic, back & forth, so get it clear. A few applications and it was good. These shields are $45, so I was glad to be able to repair it.
Hi, at 12.25, it might be wise to suggest you start the drill at a low speed and slowly build up, otherwise the paste (rubbing compound) will have a tendency to just fly off everywhere.
It worked for me after several attempts my issue was I was not polishing off quickly enough. Did it with my dewalt drill on setting 2 with soft polishing wheel and it is Luke new. I too was skeptic all after a couple of failed attempts but it does work
rubbing compound - I see that Memphis Shades (fairing and windshield MFG here in the USA) sells a Windshield Repair Kit . . . same concept I imagine - LUCITE be LUCITE - just in varying gauges, yes?
What about repainting the outside of a helmet replacing the vents that are wore out an can you replace th interior of your old helmets. And yes it might be better to buy a new but if you have super pricey Shoei and you just have spmenscratches on the paint. Is this easy or much much harder. I’m about to do this because my visor has became dangerous. But at the end when “redo the process to make it perfect. Do you have up start from 320 grit or just maybe wet 2k then wet 3k, then have the turtle scratch remover come in and smooth ouy again and then one more time? I didn’t read the comments so I hope it wasn’t cover 20x already lol
You need to really make sure it is uniform with 2000, before you polish.. otherwise it will never shine or you will distort the visor by trying to use the buffer like a grinder to remove scratches
Good job. I tried same steps, I ended up with foggy surface, not able to make it clear and transparent, no matter how long I try to polish. Any suggestions? Thanks.
I just scratched the shit out of my $150 photo chromatic Transitions shield. Any idea if this will work on that one? Is the photo chromatic layer inside or outside? Anybody know? What I will prob do is order a new shield then try to fix the old one and see what happens. I'll post my results once I can afford a new one.
the whole time I'm thinking it's a bit time consuming and i might want to put out the maybe less than 20 dollars for a new visor- the at the end he pulls out the drill- deal sealed on ebay lol
Some helmets doesn't have spare parts or any motorcycle windshields from old phased out motorcycle. Some parts are really hard to get specially on old things
@@georgiacyclone4151 heya - if you are still around . . . we can work something out here: will you send mine back to me if you are successful?

Can you see a version of The Salton Sea movie with Val Kilmer where there's a room full of TWEAKERS hanging out in a brightly lit room sanding and polishing the shit out of motorcycle visors! Hell yes
This 100% does not work. Don’t waist your time. It’s impossible to buff out the micro scratches. I used a high speed drill for 15 minutes and it didn’t work.

Here is an idea. Edit your video. We don't need to watch you open a bottle of Turtle Wax and know how it taste. We don't need to watch you sand your visor and polish it. We can actually figure all that out just by you saying it. This video was about 14 minutes, 5 seconds too long. Edit it. Or next time just say at beginning, "you can jump ahead to 15:30 if you have the idea now. What a boring waste of time.
Nope, this does not work as it does for headlights. Tried on a scratched visor I had already replaced for like $25. Spent close to 3 hours, used grits 1000,1200,1500, and 2000. Used Dremel polishing pad. Used microfiber applicator. Used bench grinder with polishing pad. Still came out hazey as expected.

Thanks, I used 1000, 2500, polishing compound and wax. Worked great.
This guy legit sounds like Lester from GTA 5 haha.
Very good .Clear to the point.
Thanks for the confirmation! Appreciate you.
Nice job.

Like new*
As to cloudiness, maybe the anti fog layer, or not enough speed in the final buff.. I also have to wipe with paper towel to get remaining polish off.
When I do this, I make sure the drill attachment is wet to avoid the polish from drying, polishes better and faster.
Followed your method but can’t seem to get rid of the really fine scratches from the sandpaper. Any thoughts?
Thanks.trying to keep it matter of fact
Used to use Micro-Mesh and acrylic polish on aircraft canopies.

I did just what you done,per complete,still cloudy.What is wrong.
Impressive, I would not use paper towels, but micro cloths instead. Looks goo.
320, 2000, scratch & swirl remover. Wet sand
I hate when women get all batshit crazy like that.... maybe she needs some 2000 grit to smooth her rough edges.
girlzeyeview Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better.

nice tat bro
Thanks, got it when I was in the Marines

Horker Fan not sure what visor your running but visors for helmets like my BELL Star or my AGV start at around 60 bucks.
a new Shueberth Pin-lock ready visor will run you 79-99 depending on the finish

Good old Acrylic glass..... Holy shit.
great vid... now, how do you fix tinted visor? lol
+MrBugsyMoran Wish I knew, if I had a junk one to play with I would test out different methods and come up with something...:0

@@georgiacyclone4151 what’s your address? I’ll mail you one…no seriously
You will sand off anti UV coating too
True, and the anti fog on the backside, but you can get stuff for that from a dive shop
I would buy a new one
Anyone else do this and get really bad vision when lights in the dark hit the visor and they spread across the visor blinding u?
Yes i got bad vision.
the cloudiness is probably from the tiny pieces of plastic you sand down you know what I mean it's like saw dust but plastic
and plastic dust
easier buying a new 1

Hell yes
It basically works if you really want to save money or dont want to wait for a new visor in the mail, but its not worth the effort overall.
What is agua???? Hydrogen peroxide?
Roselyn Aquino water
A rare and expensive liquid consisting of hydrogen and oxygen, can sometimes be sold in bottles labelled as "water"
