Hey Y'all.
Does anyone have any good suggestions on a good scratch & Scuff remover that I can use on my Caberg Justissimo?
Its got a few light scratches from storage and I want to shine 'em out.
Yeah...its a helmet.
Thanks.

Well; wax obviously works. I actually dropped my helmet at the gas pump a few weeks ago and scratched the visor (damnit). Vegetable oil actually did a pretty good job of lessening the dent's/scratches from the pavement.

Veg Oil?
Well I'll be a monkey's uncle.
I thought using the wrong compounds on your helmet could ruin the structural integrity of the bonded polymers.
I could be wrong...

I don't think vegetable oil on a plastic visor will threaten the integrity of your helmet. Unless you plan on putting the helmet on a pot in the stove and boiling it in oil.

I use cream cheese or sherbert.

I clay bar my helmet when I detail the bike, and if it's gonna come out, it will with the clay bar. Then wax it with good wax. If it doesn't come out, it's there to stay.

I clay bar my bike and car all the time. I have NEVER thought of doing my helmet. Well, duh. Good idea Bravo.

Thanks. It works great. I have a gloss black helmet, and it's shiny has heck when I'm done. Wax it when your done and bug come off easier.
