After the post about Simple Green causing such havoc, I got to thinking about my three year old hatch lenses and how they crazed in so short a time.
I've have been using OxyClean powder in solution as a cleaner for the topsides for years and since it's going to be painted next year, I figured it couldn't hurt. Then, last spring, I noticed the overhead hatch lenses had crazed. I thought perhaps the sun shield material I use to reduce interior heat had caused the problem. But as I read Hayden Watson's post, I thought again. Maybe the problem is the cleaning solution.
Any of you chemical engineer types have a thought?
I've been recommending the powder for years and now I think I screwed up!
