Helmet Duty

Postby MrBill » Wed Sep 27, 2006 7:48 pm

Know that I have everyone’s attention.... :lol:
How are you all cleaning the inside of your helmets?
I just hosed out my first Polaris helmet out (4/15/04) and you would not believe the dirt that came out. I also have a new removable liner helmet that I just hosed out.

My liner comes out, just toss it in the washer. Rinse the rest with a warm water and mild soap solution, seeks to works fine......but I have noticed that the paint is starting to peel on the outside a little :lol:

I know this rock that has some paint on it...maybe you can scrape it off and reapply.

I wash my helmet out in the kitchen sink with warm water and a little shampoo.
I figure the shampoo won't hurt my hair. What's left of it, that is :roll:

lol....that would be funny...washing your helmet with car detergent would be cool....then suddenly having it all fall out.

I've had my helmet for more than a year and still haven't cleaned the inside. I wonder if all the accumulated dirt, sweat, etc provides any additional protection against impacts? lol

Hand wash, but between those compressed air does a quick decent job.
