KTM21 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Every time I go for a ride in the evening, I get covered in flies. They're easy to get of the helmet but they stick to my jacket like sh*t to a blanket. After about 15 minutes rubbing it with a sponge and fairy liquid, I managed to get most of the marks off but there was still a few spots. Is there an easy way to get them off?

CGD217 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I found using the missus wet wipes worked quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbie Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Baby wipes! Cheap as chips in Tescos and they're kind to the leather. Works on visors too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissb6 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 For Leathers, baby wipes for textiles a stiffish brush. Harsh chemicals should avoided, with leather you'll dry out the leather and possibly remove the dye. With textiles your going to knock out the waterproofing treatment if it has any.

NeilM Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 This may sound daft but...R.E. baby wipes on visors. Don't use cheap ones. Tescos cheaps make hellish smudges. Use pampers etc.Best things ever for visors are the safety glasses cleaning stations you get in certain industries. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
