Take a look at this. Scroll down to page 4 where he is talking about
eyewear. It is mentioned here that one "solution" is to rub
toothpaste on your lenses. I have NEVER heard of this as most of the
toothpaste I know of is and abrasive and would scratch the lenses.
Has anyone else even heard of this "solution"??????

Suppose that I should have mentioned that I wear prescription
sunglasses when I am riding during the day. I don't really want to
take a chance on messing them up. I cannot afford to replace them at
the drop of a hat.

I rode motorcycles for many years and I did use Rain-x and other
things of that nature. But in all of my riding time on motorcycles
and/or bicycles it was never brought up about using toothpaste.

Unfortunately, the folks that read that article will probably take it
to the extreme and scrub the crap out of their lenses and then wonder
why everything looks so strange.
