We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "www.GymRatZ.co.uk"
saying something like:

A garage waxed my (new) windscreen once.

Erm, am I missing something here? Why would one ever want to do that?

Done mine a number of times with simonize(sp) or something when doing
the rest of the van.
Never had a problem with beading nor anything else.

I've done it a few times when using the type of carshampoo-wiv-wax
innit. Only had a problem once but it cleared up reasonably quickly with
my demon screenwash mix.
