Fine scratches on plastic face shield

[R.C.Reichert]

Is there any way I can I remove the very fine scratches on the visor of my plastic face shield to rejuvenate it and improve the visibility? There is nothing structurally wrong with it, just annoying little fuzzy scratches everywhere.

We use a plastic polishing kit on the helicopter bubble windows. They're a lot of work, but do a good job. Here's a link:

The shop is full of dust and grit, keeping it off the lenses and not wiping it into the lens is what I try to do

Replace it
I store the shield inside a plastic bag

I only clean with running water, then follow with alcohol and a soft CLEAN rag

I keep a clean new cotton rag inside a ziplock for that.



It's not perfect, but new lenses are $10 ish so

They have tear off films, but I find you lose clarity with them.

A lot of motorcyclists use Plexus spray cleaner on their windshields and face shields. It will eliminate or fill fine scratches.

The pro shields use thin mylar covers that are attached by adhesive, and are cheap to replace. Come in packs of 10 or so, and cost less than $1 each. I'd recommend investing in something like this.

Try applying a coat of paste wax.

Flitz Polish works well on plastic as well as metal. pretty inexpensive as well for a small tube. GL.

This. I discovered this stuff about 15 years and 50 lbs ago when I played paintball. It's fantastic. It actually has a wax in it that fills and buffs clear. Also helps prevent fogging.

If you don't have Plexus, a good coat of paste wax will do wonders for short term relief. I keep a spray can of Plexus next to bike for cleaning windshield.
