I cleaned my mask with Windex a couple days ago and I've heard a rumour
that products like Windex can make your mask weaker. Is this really
true?

Depends on the lense. I know it does this to V-Force masks, but every once in ahwile I forget and use it on there anyway.

I've used it and it has had no effect on me. If I stop posting for over a month, you'll know that was the problem and I'm dead. EDIT- I just did that sloganizer thing Rusty Nails, and I put in spam. I found it funny that I got "Spam online." Edited by Smitty |

It was just a rumour I heard somewhere, I just wanted to see if it was true. |

It's the ammonia in the windex that will weaken the lense. Ammonia is a very strong chemical. Every mask manufacturer recommends just a mild dish soap and water to clean the mask & lense.

It is true that the ammonia in Widex can weaken plexi-glass and composites. Dump ou the Windex and put dish soap and water in the bottle. |

Get some baby shampoo and warm water.
Not only does it clean, but it also anti-fogs. You want to make sure you get the paint off your gogs, cause the paint will cause the same weakening problem. |

Arent mask lenses have to be rated for up to 400fps?
So a lil windex didnt hurt it, just dont use it again. If you have a better goggle system just replace the lens if it makes ya feel better. I normally just rince it off with water and dry it with a towel. |

Damn, now i have to buy a new lense. I clean my lense with windex many times, and it still holds up. Hell, it got shot from 20 ft away last time i played. |

It just says in the manual not to use it. Mine also holds up strong, but its probably better not to take the risk(like me).
