We always recommend cleaning your visor on a regular basis as traffic film and dirt on your visor will reduce your vision.
Where possible always clean your visor after use and avoid leaving dirt, traffic film or debris such as bugs or flies on your visor for long periods. The quicker you remove this kind of dirt the easier it will be to clean off.
All visor manufacture recommended cleaning your visor by washing with warm neutral water and a soft cloth only.
Never allow your visor to come into contact with petrol/fumes, solvents, paints, adhesives or rain repellents unless recommended.
Any hard debris sitting on your visor surface for an extended period of time, should be firstly softened with warm neutral soapy
water before trying to remove it as this helps prevent it scratching of the visor surface.
(Soaking a clean cloth with mild soapy water and laying it over the visor for a while will help)
Please do not excessively rub the visor surface or use dirty cleaning materials as this can also lead to scratching. Paper tissues are abrasive and should be avoided.
For iridium or mirror visors it is recommended to take extra care as these visor surfaces do not have hard abrasion resistant coating and are much more sensitive to scratching.
If you have an anti-fog treated visor, never submerse this is water as this will have a negative effect on the coating and can cause the anti-fog coating to disintegrate. Follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer to the letter – never use alcohol or harsh chemicals on anti fog visors – these are specialist coatings and require specialist cleaning and treatment. Incorrect cleaning can cause disintegration or failure or the coating.
This is the cleaning advice we provide for Bob Heath replacement visors manufactured from Lexan Anti Fog sheet.
Firstly, to avoid unnecessary cleaning of the Anti fog inner coating we recommend cleaning the outer abrasion resistant coating. (Then check to see if the Anti fog inner coating requires cleaning).
To clean the outer coating, either dry polish with a soft clean cloth or clean with warm mild soapy water (then dry with a soft clean cloth).
Should the inner Anti Fog coating require cleaning, firstly try cleaning with a soft dry cloth (taking care as the Anti fog coating is not as abrasion resistant as the outer coating). Then if further cleaning is required either:
· Rinse clean under a cold tap water and carefully dry with a soft towel or cloth to remove and excess surface water, allow to dry and polish with a soft clean cloth.
· Clean with a soft clean cloth moistened with small amount of heptane (white spirit) and dry with a soft clean cloth.
It is recommend that you never clean this product with alcohols, rain repellents or any other non recommended product as they will affect the performance of the coating. Cleaning with non recommended solutions could severely affect the structural integrity of this material.
SCRATCHED EYE PROTECTORS ARE UNSAFE, IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT, POOR VISIBILITY OR AT NIGHT AND SHOULD BE REPLACED.
