I wonder what you guys do to take care of your helmets.
Both my wife and myself use Shoei RF-1000's. Here is what I do on a regular basis: Take the chin pads out, and handwash them in mild soapy water and rinse. While I have the pads out, I clean the inside of the helmet with a damp cloth. Let dry. The outside gets cleaned with Pledge (the real stuff) and then buffed with a clean cloth, along with the faceshield. I also use Pledge on my windshield. Works very good. After the chinpads are back in, and the inside is dry, it gets a good spray of "Febreeze" on the inside. No more sweaty smells. Works wonders. Good to go for another 3 months.
