All,
Extended use of Rain-X will cause problems with lexan...noteably it does
attack the micropores and will eventually you will get little dots all over
the surface where it opens them up.B RainX does not recommend their product
for use with polycarbonates.
As for fog...use dish soap, works amazing and no harmul effects.

B B Hi all, I use something called Plexus. It's a plastic cleaner and sealer.
Works great on my windshield too.
B B I used it at work on Isolettes, where Preemies are cared for. Just
ventilate the area well when done B and don't inhale the fumes.
B B The windshield washer solvent with Rainex works great too; I usually don't
use my wipers in the rain after using it.
