Hi BRS

(do you come with a parachute?:))

I like the idea of your magnetic in/out cleaning system but will wait for your review, before committing to a purchase.

Cute, first time I've heard that. BTW - you can't (but you did) use a smiley ;-) face and parenthesis next to each other :-)) doesn't work.

A late-night "as seen on TV" item I used with great success is the "Windshield Wonder". You can still get them at Walmart for $10.
I did have to heat and reshape it as it comes out of the box flat.

Ah! The wonderful Walmart Aero Space suplies :) - unfortunately not a store with Worldwide locations.

I am truly stunned - I thought I would be swamped with responses.

My analysis of the few replies (well below that necessary for a statistically meaningful conclusion);

    Lanky pilots probably have no difficulty in reaching the furthermost/narrowest parts of the windscreen.

    The rest (less vertically blessed) are extraordinarily generous with offers of free windscreen cleaning & dinner - I just have to commit me & my Sonex to a trans Pacific flight:)

    As for the great unresponsive - they either live with visual impairment (dirty/foggy windscreen) or seek out a tall slim person, of willing disposition, to clean the inside of their windscreen.
