Helmet maintenance
what does everyone use to clean there helmet (i.e. visor). I started with a paper towel and moved on to the cloth overlaying mothers sewing machine lol seems like theres small circular micro-scratches and maybe even a few nicks (mighta just been carelessness earlier)... I did shoot some rain-ex and attempted to lightly buff it, as the directions tell you to, maybe it just needs to get rained on

The visor? Arai (my helmet manufacturer) says to clean with soap and water, so I do. Just by hand. Paper or other towels to blot dry; no rubbing with the paper towelsor the mirror finish may be 'compromised.' Bugs come off very easily this way, unless I don't 'get to it' for days or something.

Paper Towels.. really?????.. not the best choice IMO. You can get small swirl marks/scratches from them. My helmet gets 'Invisible Glass' by Stoner, and I dry it with a microfiber cloth, visor gets the same treatment. Plexus as Nate said is awesome as well. I use that for my headlight and taillight, or you can buy "Honda Spray" from a dealership and use that for everything. It is a spray cleaner so you don't have to wash your bike, per se.
