Matt Finish Helmets

[Glade]

Insurance will be buying me a new helmet, as my head hit the ground when I had an off recently(filtering, low speed)...

Thinking of going for a Shoei Raid2 Sentry TC-5 (Direct replacement, different colour scheme)



Anyone any experience of keeping a Matt finish helmet looking good??

(I've always wondered about matt finish bikes too)

Ive had a matt black Raid for about 4-5 yrs and it still looks good , I just wipe over with a damp cloth every now and again...

I've got one of these:



I clean it after every ride with Muc-Off visor cleaner and a microfibre cloth. Looks great!

I have got a matt finish helmet

Shark one with butterflies on it.

I just wipe it with water and buff it up, comes up a treat.

Just polish your helmet in the normal manner, but try not to cause too much friction

After every ride!!!!!!

Blimey, mine gets done once a year whether it needs it or not! One of my mates has a matt helmet and he never washes it, still looks ok, guess just treat them like any other helmet.

Yeah, but I am obsessive when it comes to keeping things clean. I reckon I have OCPD as far as that type of thing is concerned!

You'll need some autosol for your downpipes then!! Warning: Polishing metal can become addictive.

I know mate - my Lotus had the cleanest exhaust ever seen! I just haven't got round to starting on the primaries of the bike yet - with no paddock stand it's a bit tricky.
