Fogging on Eisenglass

[BearCove]

Wondering if anyone has any secrets as to how to get rid of this or if you can get rid of it. Boat a new to me boat and a few of the curtains have a few spots on the tops. Looks more like growth than fogging as I can feel it with my finger.

Just wondering if there is any way to get rid of it?

Cheers

I use a product called plexus on my isinglass, mine were a little milky when I got it and now look almost like new. generally lasts a few months then do it again due to salt spray
its no harder then cleaning windows, spray on and polish off.
available at most marine stores, I think mine came from west marine,
amazon has it too

Agree with HU. Plexus is what I use on my isinglass as well. Its kinda like applying furniture wax. Spray on a wipe off with a micro fibre rag. Yes West Marine has the product...

Cheers

I use it as well and it works. Anyone else carrying it? West Marine is closing their Canadian outlets as leases expire. I am not too disappointed that they are closing their stores. I really don't feel they were too competitive on pricing for 95% of their stock and this will probably mean the local smaller guys will get more business. HC gets almost all of my business.


In a letter to vendor partners in Canada, West Marine has announced that it will be closing its Canadian stores as their leases expire. The closings will take place gradually over the next four years.

Within the next year, seven of the 10 leases on West Marine's stores in Canada will expire. West Marine says that currently none of the seven are meeting the company's ‘minimum hurdles.' The remaining stores will also close as their leases expire in the following years.

Is the one in Vic closed yet, how about Sydney? Was going to hopefully grab some at the Vic location this morning before heading to boat.

I'll post as to how it works after I give it a try.

Cheers

You should be able to pick it up at motorcycle stores, I use it to polish my bike's windscreen.

Try Pledge furniture polish. Lots of people swear by it.

First clean the windows with a good soap like Boat Zoap then use pledge furniture polish. This will keep your windows clean and flexible so they don't dry out and crack as fast. I like the boat zoap as it has worked well for me but any good marine soap will work.
