Re: Colored face sheilds on helmets

ill take a wild guess- you guys are using windex huh? if you are that shi t has ammonia in it which kills the mirrored finish- I am on the same chrome icon shield and I clean it with plexus- 6 months old- looks like new.

Re: Colored face sheilds on helmets

it probably depends how much you ride also..

I average at least 500+ miles a week.. And thats easily me cleaning my helmet 7-14 times a week.. So I guess I just had to clean mine too much

however some of my friends ride 500 miles, a year.... So there shields would probbaly last for years

From cleaning the front of hte helmet, it has made the gold rub off... So now its spekeled(sp) with gold dots, and makes it stupid to even use....

So im woundering, are all colors like this? If I get a silver one, will it just rub off when I clean it?
What about a regular black smoked one?

i ran into the same problem its because its mirrored i have a plain blakc shield on another helmet and its fine. just have to buy a new one there only $25, and i clean mine with warm soapy water

Re: Colored face sheilds on helmets

they wont look good forever, every 6 months I get a replacement, but if you take care of your ****, it'll look good for a long time.

Re: Colored face sheilds on helmets

i had kbc's blue, and chrome..... both sucked, and i cleaned em dry, they lasted months. my icon... i only got smoked, and clear so i didnt have to deal with that.

but the smoked seems to stay on permanently. not to hard to see at night either.
