How to remove goggle streaks on matte black helmet

[Tylerth]

Hey Newschoolers! My brother recently purchased the back giro ledge helmet at the start of last season. He is younger and just getting into skiing do he wore his goggles on on the outside of his helmet. The goggles he had were from the same company (giro), and had clear kind of synthetic rubber that made the goggles grip to the helmet. The problem that surfaced is that the black surface of his helmet not has lines that these goggles left from pulling up and down that I can’t seem to get off. Suggestions for removing would be appreciated!

can't tell, is it scratching or what?

If it’s the adhesive from the goggle strap you could probably buff it out with some googone or similar cleaner.

 

[jompcock]

use a light solvent like isopropyl or denatured alcohol. Something like acetone will probably fuck it up so be careful

Why though?

If you want to go through that much effort just re-paint the thing

it might be the suns uv rays fading the helmet and the straps stops the fading underneath

Add some stickers, wont even notice the lines.

Literally, nobody will notice that. Spend the time and energy maintaining and repairing your skis.

Ha I actually made a thread about sweat on matte helmets earlier this year. Try ammonia free window cleaner

That’s what it is??? And does windex have ammonia?

Its beyond saving. However in life, when one door closes, another one opens.

This reminds me of the bunny pajama scene from 'A Christmas Story'

I want one. Badly.

Depends. Some windex does, some doesn’t. The organic brands usually don’t have ammonia

Another fantastic fucking thread made by some vain little bitch who doesn't like how his helmet appears on the tiktoks. I can't wait for the thread about how to buff out scratches on topsheets.

 

[Tylerth]

Don’t u guys think someone should post a thread about that just to piss him off

Op these chodes are all wrong. You gotta pee on it to get rid of the scuffs.

Found some window cleaner and it worked like a charm! Brother is very pleased!
