Never use any solvents or abrasive cleaners to clean yourhelmet!! For optimum performance, rinse your helmet in warm waterusing a mild soap. If the outside is dirty with dried dirt andbugs, we suggest you place a wet towel over the helmet for at leastone minute before wiping it clean. This softens the foreign objectsbefore removal lessening the chance of scratches. The multiplecoatings on the face shield are resistant to light scratching,however, heavy, abusive scratching can break through the coatingsand cause visible marks. Removing dirt and bugs with good cleaningpractices and keeping your helmet in a RaceCase™ will significantlyhelp to prolong the life of your helmet and face shields.
The removable, washable liner in all our helmets make it easy toclean. Even a man can do it. Remove the cheek pads first byunsnapping the 3 (usually) button snaps on each one. Be careful notto "tear" the pad out, but carefully un-snap each button. The"crownliner" can be unsnapped (2) from the back of the head areaand the pulled away from the helmet in the forehead area. Note thealignment arrows for re-installing the crownliner. Throw thesethree pieces into the washing machine if possible in a washing bagso that the plastic parts cannot be broken or damage the textileand allow to air dry before re-installing.
The ScorpionExo face shields for 400s and 700s have differentcleaning procedures for inside and outside. The outside is coatedwith an anti-scratch coating which prevents minor scratches, butcannot resist heavy wiping and cleaning without preliminarysoftening of the dirt, grime and bugs first. Note the damp towelmethod of softening dried bugs and dirt above. Plastic polisheswork fine to clean the outside of the shield as long as the dirtand grime has been softened and removed first. The inner Everclear™no-fog coated face shields require special treatment for cleaning.We suggest using a warm water and mild soap combination followed by"pat drying" with a dry towel. "Wiping" may cause premature wearand scratching on the Everclear™ innercoating.
