I prefer applying lemon grass tea infused cucumber slices to the face shield, almond and coconut paste to the shell and then do a nice Jamaican Blue coffee cleanse to the internal padding. That takes years off of your helmet and makes it feel like something newer and fresher is sitting on your face.

Someone below said it best: "As experienced riders we often lose sight of sharing that experience with riders who are relatively new". Even though this is dead simple, we all have a first time and want to get it right. Your video(s) really help so pay no mind to the naysayers! A few times you mentioned changing the pin-lock. My helmet is only a year old (HJC IS Max 2) and there doesn't seem to be any reason to worry about the pin-lock yet. How can I tell if it needs to be replaced?

The interior padding, I just take it out and throw it in the washing machine along with my jacket and wash in cold water, delicate cycle then air dry. Both the jacket and helmet liner come out great every time. Right or wrong, its easy and quick.

Ironic that this popped up in my email tonight. I commute in the PNW and between the rain and road-grease, my white helmet was more gray/black so I figured I’d wipe it down before I started my 35 mile ride home (before I saw this). I found out my shell was chipped and I had a crack I thought was just grime... it went for its last ride tonight. I already bought a new helmet (part of the reason Revzilla sent me the email), but I guess that was good timing (and a good reason to clean your lid more often than I have been).

No expert here, but if stored indoors in a dry environment it shouldn’t matter up or down. Leaving the liner wet to mold or subjecting the helmet to sunlight excessively would be hard on the materials.
