<VV> Re: Windshield Washer Fluid (Now cleanser?)

[RoboMan91324@aol.com]

Thanks Ron,

That kind of clears things up on both my previous questions.  The fact that 
the abrasive agent in the Bon Ami cleanser is softer than the glass it is 
cleaning prevents the scratching.  A regular cleanser would cause damage.  Also, I 
had heard that strong alcohol can be damaging to some finishes.  (Not to 
mention, my liver and few remaining brain cells.)  My concern would be overspray on 
the paint from the windshield washers that might not have evaporated by the 
time the car was parked.
