Care and Maintenance
To protect the specialized antifog and anti-scratch surfaces, clean your shield using only mild soap and warm water with a clean microfiber cloth.

Always inspect your visor before heading out; for maximum safety, replace your shield if it sustains any deep impacts or scratches that could distort your view of the track.
