This offseason we had about 20 helmets not get reconditioned and still have the decals from last year on them. We have a sort of big decal that wraps around most of the front half of the helmet, and leaves the sticky adhesive stuff underneath when taking the decal off.
What is the best way to clean the helmet and make it look like new (or as new as possible)?

I rub the sticky glue off by hand then use a magic sponge to clean off the helmet, I have not found a quick way to do it.

Windex has worked well for me with similar things, but I've never tried it on helmets.

We do every two years.
I may be off here but I'm just the DC and don't handle all that stuf.

Be very careful about applying solvents to a helmet. You could set yourself up for a lawsuit.

Actually, there is no law requiring helmet reconditioning (at least in my state). It is a common misconception that reconditioning is required by law. That said, one would be setting himself and his school district up for a lawsuit if he neglected to recondition (IMO).
After ten years, the manufacturer warranty is gone (Riddell). Theoretically, a helmet could be used for ten years without it being reconditioned. Wouldn't recommend that, though.

Try a hair dryer before taking them off.
