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?
