A bit of trivia: My granddad, a professor/scientist at Michigan State for most of his life, invented and patented the process for making water "wetter" by breaking the surface tension of individual drops, creating smaller droplets, which then flowed off hard surfaces with the natural movement of air across the surface, without leaving spots.
So whenever you use Rain-X, or Calgon dishwasher detergent, or the like, that's his work. It was also used as a wetting agent in the process of developing film to allow the film to dry without water- spotting (back when cameras used film, that is). I seem to recall that differing results from Rain-X applications were caused by the type of cleaner used to clean the surface before applying the solution. I could be mistaken, but I think ammonia was the culprit. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
