Shell Cleaning - HJC CS-R1 Owner's Manual

Maintaining Your Helmet Correctly
Shell Cleaning
Only use approved methods to clean the helmet. Using other unapproved
chemicals or methods may damage the helmet shell or lining. A damaged helmet
may increase your risk of serious injury or death in an accident.
Glossy Finish. HJC recommends cleaning your helmet with products designed for automotive
cleaning and polishing. All HJC helmets are finished with an automotive type base coat/clear
coat finish. Rubbing compounds can be used for deep cleaning to remove many scratches and
scuffs. Follow the product's instructions diligently. Over polishing with rubbing compounds can
cause light abrasions which may dull the finish of your helmet. Stickers and decals will leave
adhesive residue when removed. To remove the adhesive residue, use alcohol swabs. Be certain
to immediately wipe away the excess liquid and clean the area with soap and water once
the adhesive residue is removed. Do not use excessive pressure while rubbing when attempting
to remove the adhesive residue, instead use multiple light treatments.
Non-Glossy Finish. For our flat finish (non-glossy) helmets, we recommend using warm water
and mild soap. Use multiple treatments for heavier dirt. Do not use excessive pressure or
rubbing compounds while cleaning the surface as a "glossy" effect could be created, ruining
the flat finish appearance.
