Matte Black Helmet

[rdavid8]

Hey all, I just recently purchased a shoei RF-1000 in matte black, i was wondering if anyone know how to get rid of oil/grease marks without ruining or fading the surface or color? is there a special or a certain cleaner? also if u have a matte black 07 s3 same deal i suppose. thanks in advance!

I have absolutely no experience with a matte helmet. But on my dyna, which is flat black, water with a touch of dish soap and a soft rag does the trick.

I have the same helmet and same issue, sorry I have no solution I just ignore the oily marks, I suspect soapy water should do it some justice though.

Must be great in cold climates where you want to absorb all the suns rays..

Dish soap and warm water would do fine as the soap has a mild de-greaser in it, just avoid using polish as these have cutting agents built in and will cut into the fine top coat (lacquer)

rdavid8 I have the same exact helmet. I use Clean All. Just spray it all over the helmet, including the visor. Let it sit for a moment or two and wipe off well. It has cleaned everything off my helmet in the last two months, plus once you use it, it is easier to clean afterward. It even leaves your visor so clean that I swear nothing is there sometimes, with no streak marks. It does nothing to the matte finish either.
