ErrHuman 0 #1 October 11, 2016 I couldn't seem to find anything on the forums so I figured I'd ask the question - has anybody tried polishing out the scratches in their full-face visor? I'm particularly interested in the polycarbonate G3, but I assume the process would be similar for any other full-face. It looks like its feasible but that it might be so time-consuming that you might as well just buy a replacement visor. Anybody tried? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrelr 0 #2 October 11, 2016 Probably not a good idea on the G3, given the anti-fog coating on the visor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ErrHuman 0 #3 October 11, 2016 Should've thought about that - good point! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrancoR 0 #4 October 11, 2016 I assume your scratches are on the outside of the visor and the anti fogging coating is on the inside of the visor. No?If it does not cost anything you are the product. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RockSkyGirl 10 #5 October 11, 2016 I've found that the anti-fog coating wears off eventually anyway, just from wiping out the inside of the visor enough times. There is an anti-fog spray you can use to reapply the anti-fog coating once it's worn off. Not as good as the original coating but it still works.

It looks like its feasible but that it might be so time-consuming that you might as well just buy a replacement visor. Anybody tried? Not on a G3 (or other skydiving helmet), but on my motorcycle helmet and on the polycarbonate headlight lenses on my car. It works reasonably well as long as the scratches aren't too deep. There are also purpose-specific kits for car headlights ($15, $10 on sale if you keep your eyes open) that include several different sanding/polishing pads (different grit) and a polish. They may include a "prep" wipe and a "sealer" wipe that I would suggest not using on a visor. Not terribly hard, and can be done while watching TV or similar."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
