Ira, John, and all who cares to see:
I don't want to keep beating a dead horse, but I did get a response from the
author(Tim, nice guy) of the article.
The author's information was received by him, as second hand information.
Here is a bit from the email response:
"The "dis-recommendation" came from a resoration(sic) company. They don't
sell any products, just services. They're pretty famous for windscreen
restorations in bizjets, particularly."
Still, there is no information on why it is not recommended or the type of
person who originally said it. I doubt Tim knows, either. It is strange that
there never seem to be any first hand, detailed accounts.
So anyway, here is 1 bit of negative report in a sea of many, many, many
positives by motorcyclists and plane enthusiasts alike.
With no details, I will leave it up to you to decide whether you want to
give it credence, or if you think it is just a data outlier (a data point
outside of the norm to be thrown out), or if you just don't give a dang.
One thing seems sure: The sun will probably do much more damage to our
windscreens than the protectants we have been discussing (ones long used on
plexi).
This thread can gather dust now, hopefully.
Regards,
Greg
Ira,
....
I have sent off an email to the Author in an attempt to find out.
