How to clean an Arai helmet

[berniedmj1]

How do you clean an arai vector helmet? Vector helmet skull cap isn't removable. So what can I do to clean it other than febreeze it or Lysol-ing it?

SHoei FTW

Hi, can you polish your helmet (ooo erm) with Auto Glym super resin polish for instance? Ta

I've got an Arai, and I have Shoei's. I doubt I'll ever purchase an Arai again. Putting aside fit. Arai has an inferior shield attachment system. Arai Support couldn't get much worse. Try getting an Arai Rep and the phone. Newby will have to attend "the university of how to take of an arai viso". Shoei shines in these areas. Fit and comfort are both the best.

I've misplaced my tube of silicone lube...where can I purchase some?!

[mikepartyboy]

@RainRoyale I contacted Arai about it, and they sent me the silicone, stickers, instruction manual, and a DVD to show you how to change the shield.

However, I am selling my barely used RX7 Arai now....cause I got something else

water is acidic not nuetral

[SOAMC33]

Arai helmets are the best!

[Spykeri]

@SOAMC33 Shoei is better.

[tompatience]

@SOAMC33 Sharp says otherwise :(

Neeves couldn't clean his own helmet because last time he lubed a seal he got in big trouble with PETA.

thanks for the video

[mikepartyboy]

Also, the Comfort Liner, and cheek pads..

Are the "pads" itself washable in a bowl of water? I'm referring to the padding and not the "cover" of the padding.

my hjc and scorpion just say toss the whole thing in the washer so i'd imagine it would be the same.

[mikepartyboy]

My helmet came from the shelf....didn't get the box...with the manual or that Lubricant.

Do I need that lubricant? Where can I buy it?

[RainRoyale]

@mikepartyboy I got mine from the shelf too...with no manual or lubricant. Did you ever find out where to get the silicone lube?

[colomason]

why is he manipulating the helmet over a hard surface moving the helmet round and round scratching the finnish, better to put a terry towel down and stand the helmet on the towel to prevent any scratching of the finnish.

[StuntMonkeyUK]

i thought that, but looking at the helmet, it is damaged from an accident. so i can see why hes not putting a towel down

[andybcn67]

Thanks for your information :)

[viasevenvai]

wow, talk about off topic comments!

for the video; i'd use laundry soap/detergent. it's safe for clothes.

if this video doesn't suggest it cause it damages the helmet fabric then TOO BAD! the helmet deserves to die if it can't handle laundry detergent.

i'm talking about like the brand "all" or something like the liquid soap, or "tide" i suppose.

i've used it on air filters before and it didn't eat those away.

[monkeyboy441]

"I work in a women's motorbike clothing shop so shut the hell up yourself." - How on earth does that make your point any more valid? :/

It doesn't imply that at all, you're reading far too much into it. It's just post-modern irony.. or something. Calm down, we all know women are equal and blah blah.

[monkeyboy441]

Damn feminists getting pissy about every little thing. Shut the hell up. Nice video

[keravankauhu]
