If you want to take a half hour doing each visor, use alcohol. If you want to spend 2 minutes, use laquer thinner.

Alcohol

Worked for me and didn't dissolve the vinyl material.

I'd be afraid to use anything stronger that would attack or soften what you are trying to preserve.

Takes all of about 5 minutes or so do to each one, no big deal!

Will laquer thinner do any damage to the (1) plastic mirror cover on the top side; or (2) vinyl on the under side?
