Hi all,

We all know goggles don't last 5 minutes before they become so
scratched up they're impossible to see through. These scratches
typically arise as a result of us wiping "dust" off the lenses (this
isn't household "dust" it's usually abrasive particulates formed from
grinding and sanding activities).
So.... has anyone tried taking a brand new pair of cheap goggles and
protecting them with a layer of clingfilm? You know, like the racing
drivers do. I'm just thinking maybe the useful life of these wretched
things could be extended indefinitely by the addition of a little
clingfilm. Anyone tried it?


Have you tried the trick of using a gentle jet of water to flush the
dust away (as you would when washing a motor vehicle's paintwork)?

Oh crikey yes. Anything's better than wiping!
