Btw, concerning the windshield, I was talking to the guy that runs the local glass specialty shop, and he said if I cared to, he'd send it off to one of his plexi-glass suppliers who also custom refabs stuff and can have it duplicated, but it'd be pricy though. But I didn't ask how much... Yet.

There are places online that can make these things but I still think
you can buff it out if it is just cloudy.

Use something like jeweler's rouge or a soft rubbing compound on a
fleece pad and a buffer.

I'll give it a try but it's really not too bad. This isn't a top priority project. It's actually live able the way it is. So I'm not gonna put too much effort into it. But...it could be a bit better.

My windshield is glass. Went out to Grand Lake yesterday and could hardly see through it due to dust & dirt and residue from salt water last month. Had a sheet of paper towel in my pocket so I leaned over and wet it in the lake and then wiped the windshield. Much better but I'll have to start carrying some mild window cleaner with me.



Or you could properly clean your boat after you use it. You should have
learned that sal****er, and it's residue, isn't friendly to your POS
boat. It should take less time to clean it than backing it up your
driveway while putting your poor wife in jeopardy while she guides you
or pushes it.

That said...

Did you really go boating yesterday? Tell the truth. Don't get caught
in a lie...
