Helmet Visor Question

Hey Folks
I have a BIEFE helmet that has a plastic face visor that is getting quite
scratched and is getting hard to see out of - Particulalry in bright
sunlight or at night. Is there any polish or technique that I can use to
buff it up and improve my vision or am I resigned to either buying a new
helmet or a new visor?
Thanks

Other than to replace the visor or the helmet:
-Look for a very fine jeweler's rouge made for clear plastics (these are
used in the aircraft and marine industries to maintain clear plastic
windshields and windows)
-Use a clean, soft cloth and lots of elbow grease, and don't try to get them
all out the first time, just get the worse.
When done wash the visor off with warn water and a little mild dish washing
detergent (when I wash mine, I put a drop of mild soap in my hand and I wash
it with my hands under a running tap (take your rings off). I air dry it,
sitting on a paper towel, and only wipe off the big drops or if it looks
like it will water stain).
-Apply Plexus (available at most bike shops). Wipe on with a soft cloth,
let it set a few minutes, then polish it dry.

There are a few simple rules that will make your visor last longer:
-Never wipe it off it is dry.
-Always use a clean, fresh soft cloth.
-Never use harsh cleansers (Windex included)

The bottom line, for the maintenance of visors and windshields, is:
-Every time you clean it, regardless of how careful you are, it gets
scratched (don't clean it unless it needs it).
-Don't use the paper towels at gas stations. Cary a clean soft cloth in a
zip lock bag
-Seal the surface with a fine machine oil or wax (Plexus). It will clear up
the fine scratches and make it easier to clean off next time.

Ride safe.
