Nothing works if your windshield is covered with fine pits from god knows what
the previous owner did to it.

I just wish it worked on goggles. Maybe it would if I wasn't such a
cheapskate who buys $12 ski goggles.

I never pay more than a buck! I just noticed that the nice Uvex ones I've
used for maybe 10 years have holes in the thin foam covering the vents. I
think duct tape will come in handy here...

Once the holes begin, the foam begins to shred in tiny pieces that get into your
eyes and irritate. Better start saving some dimes.

You never tried using a few drops of liquid detergent and then polishing
it off?


Also try toothpaste. Toothpaste is a good plastic polish.


Oh.. I forgot. You never use toothpaste.

Rip it off and cover the framework with duct tape. There are REAL vent
holes in the sides so I don't think I'm doing serious injury. I
discovered the problem when wind blew in and decentered my contact lens.
Not good to be suddenly unable to see...

Only for plastic with no scratches. Here's what not to use to polish
some serious scratches out of your glasses: 600-grit wet-or-dry sandpaper.

Hey, nothing else worked and it was a long shot.

You could try 2000 grit from the auto paint store.

For plastic, try Meguiar's Mirror Glaze. I used to use it on the
plastic rear window on my '68 Camaro. It was amazing. (Much like
Rain-X, it actually did what it claimed to do. Really well.)

Yes, the glazed doughnought look. I'm quite familiar with it.

I was called the 'Campbell's soup boy' by the lift attendant last time up.

Care to elaborate? A winning combination
of red, white and black?

I'm guessing snot-cicles frozen to the beard.

May be a break in the bad weather coming up - small chance of snow
tomorrow night and wednesday.

Snow otherwise holding up pretty well on permanently shaded slopes.
