I just installed the OEM window visors recently and after wiping it dry when it got wet from the rain, I already see lots of fine hairline scratches. Even me just wiping off some smudge with my finger seems to leave a few fine scratches too.

Has anyone else with the visors found the same problem?
And is there anything I can use to get rid of the fine scratches or cover it up or anything...?

Cheers in advance everyone

 

any type of light polishing compound will remove those scratches. I recommend 3M brand.

 

Mine have a ton of very small scratched from when I first put them on when I wiped them down with Windex and a paper towel. You only see them up close so I don't care.

 

get some scratch X

 

yah, scratchx and a soft foam pad.

and wax/seal afterwards.

 

Obviously if you wipe it off with just plain rain water it will scratch. Water alone wont get rid of the dirt that your scraping across the visor with the towel.

Also using an abrasive paper towel will obviously scratch it. Clean with isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber towel only.

You just have to learn to properly care for these. Any abrasive like a polish or plastx is too strong for the visors. Just keep them sealed with a synthetic sealant and wash them correctly. Dont use plain water, windex, or paper towels...

 

Hmm any specific sealant you'd recommend?

 

On a side note my hood deflector has ZERO scratches and I've used paper towel on that. Must be a higher grade plastic.

No big deal. They work and you have to look really close to see the scratches.

 

Even the Mugen ones get fine scratches and I only use car soap and microfibers to clean and dry.
