Breezin Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I've read that you can use it to get rid of visor scratches, but that it has to be one without abrasive particles. Anyone ever tried it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Yes, and it didn't work very well. I've used it on other plastics to good effect but visors are made out of something harder and once they're scratched toothpaste doesn't work so well on them. Mind you it was a deep scratch caused by someone moving my helmet when I was in a meeting so to be fair that was perhaps asking too much of the toothpaste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHorton Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I think you can get polishes especially for acrylics used for polishing scratches out of plastic watch faces maybe worth a try 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Used to use very fine wet or dry 1200 then brasso then acrylic polish, used to be regular occurrence twats drawing stick men and knobs on tourer windows, if they are really deep can start with coarser paper, you will get a slight hollow and visual distortion but this with proper deep scratches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onesea Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Car headlight lenses and compass bowls react well to Mum’s Aluminium Polish and micro fibre cloth. I have never tried it on a visor.. https://www.google.com/search?q=mums+aluminum+polish&rlz=1C9BKJA_enGB790GB791&oq=mums+aluminum+polish&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30j0i390l2.8298j0j7&hl=en-GB&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 Edited February 27, 2022 by onesea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breezin Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 Thanks all. Looks like Colgate is not an option then. It's a fairly big scratch, incurred when I actually nutted a railing. I think I can live with it though, rather than risk ruining the rest of the visor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedibiker Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I improved mine with a mild polish. but didnt want to push it too far. there may be a product for it, but also once youve taken outer layer off it may not repel water so re do that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickjaxe Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 When I used to own an aircraft with a perspex screen....I and many other used a product called Plexus.....for minor imperfections....worked well. Some used to say pledge furniture polish does the same job.....the is it fills the the very light scratching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
