Specifications, side by side

| Specification | Shoei RF-1400 Full Face Motorcycle Helmet | Armor All Complete Car Care Wash & Clean 4-Piece Kit |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹52,900 | ₹2,499 |
| Weight | 1.55 kg | 2.4 kg |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Certification | DOT FMVSS 218 and SNELL M2020, the US standards. Also ECE 22.06 on European variants | not published |
| Contents | not published | Car wash concentrate, protectant, glass cleaner, microfibre wash mitt |
| Glass cleaner | not published | Ammonia free, which matters because ammonia damages window tint film |
| Glossy dashboards | not published | A glossy dashboard reflects into the windscreen in bright sun, which is a real visibility issue. Matte finish products avoid it |
| Indian requirement | Helmets sold in India must carry the ISI mark to IS 4151. DOT, SNELL and ECE do not satisfy Indian law, and ISI marking is checked at enforcement | not published |
| Mitt | not published | Microfibre, and it must be washed separately from household laundry |
| Protectant note | not published | Armor All protectant is a dressing, not a UV sealant. It looks glossy and needs reapplying every few weeks |
| Replacement | Every 5 years from manufacture, or immediately after any impact, regardless of visible damage | not published |
| Shell | Multi-ply matrix fibreglass, six shell sizes | not published |
| This is not a quality judgement | SNELL M2020 is a demanding standard. The point is legal compliance in India, which is a separate question from protective performance | not published |
| Why ammonia free matters | not published | Most Indian cars have aftermarket tint, and ammonia-based cleaners degrade the film |
| Why six shell sizes | Most manufacturers use two or three shells across all sizes, so smaller sizes carry an oversized shell. Six means the shell actually matches the head | not published |
