I asked this a while back and some (Macy?) mentioned that he had used soap
and the windshield started fogging up in just a couple of years. Wasn't sure
if the soap had anything to do with it, but he suggested using silicone spray
if he had it to do over. I still need to do mine, so I thought I woudl try
the spray.
And at the risk of sounding ignorant, who's Buddy?
