[disclaimer - hot water is hot, duh. Don't burn yourself!]UPDATE: Forumite Greg from the JediDefender Forums recommended using a simple eraser to help detint your gear. Another great tip that appears to work well!
1. heat up some water to near boiling
2. soak the helmet in the HOT water for 3 minutes
3. dip a dry cloth in the HOT water
4. remove helmet from water (carefully, it's hot!)
5. rub/polish/buff the helmet with the wet cloth
Simple, right? Thanks to toydoctordude for the tip!
