Post by Herman T »

Has anyone ever tried this product or anything like it to remove fine scratches and haze from helmet face shields?

I've used Meguiars Plast-X with great results, It works well on helmet visors, windshield visors, indicator lenses, tail lamp lenses and of course plastic headlamps.

I bought their No.1 & 2 products and am happy that they work as claimed. The No.2 scratch remover really helped on the wind shield of my sports bike.

The No.2 scratch remover really helped on the wind shield of my sports bike.
The reason I had bought the Plas-X in the first place was to try saving a badly scuffed 900RR windshield. I was suspicious if anything could work on this piece without hours of sanding and buffing in the traditional way, but I was willing to give this a try.
After the first application and hearing how it worked on the surface like sandpaper I was even more skeptical if it would not end up looking smooth but perpetually hazy.
The windshiled was restored to like new condition and I was very impressed so I reused it and put the new one I had bought aside.
I even found out it can remove the small surface issues on plastic painted panels such as side covers/fairings etc.
This happened by chance when I was cleaning up a panel I got from eBay and thought it looked great until I checked it under a florescent light. Those little surface lines only seen at certain angles under certain light conditions left by waxes and cream cleaners were gone by using the Plas-X.
The thing is they tell you not to use it on PAINT but the stuff works great on it with no ill effects so go figure.

I saw the Plast-X at the store, thought about getting it but didn't. The product on ebay, the seller has a one time use #1, 2 and 3 packet option for $3. I decided to try that to see how it works. #1 is a polish, 2 is for light scratches and 3 is for deep scratches. I should have it this week.

I got the polish and scratch remover today. I picked up the $3 one that has a small packet of each product. I used the cleaner and the fine scratch remover and I am very impressed. It made my shield very clear and did remove the light scratches on it. When I look at it now, it appears that there isn't a shield on the helmet. It is that clear. Also, bugs come off with just a light brush with my finger with no signs of anything being there before. The $3 item with free shipping is a can't go wrong purchase if you have a shield that is cloudy or lightly scratched. I'm very pleased with the result.
