prolonged visor use

[GSPeter]

Driving from shadow to direct low sunlight the other day I was more or less blind as my visor has gradually aquired a mass of small scratches. It's not something you notice until a critical moment, and I was leaving for a five day ride the next day.

I went to my local BMW dealer, said I wanted a new visor for a Schubert C3. They actually had it in stock - "That will be Nok 740," which is like Euro 90, or £ 70.

"No, no, you misunderstand, I just want the visor, not the whole helmet!"

Everyone laughs, and I pay up.

On the way home I recalled a road racing friend who polished his screen with furniture spray polish. My in-laws use it. I tried it on the old visor when I got home, and it really worked. There is silicon in the polish, which must fill in the micro scratches. I recomend the clear polish rather than the teak. I sprayed, let it settle, and buffed it hard - great result.

This wont help major scratches and damage, but the tiny scratches from sand and daily use are filled in,

Hope it works when you need it
