   I don't know if lexan comes in different grades or hardnesses, but
if its anything like the windscreen on my ultralight or the windshields
of the Cubs and Taylorcrafts at the local airport, it will scratch *very*
easily. The ultralight groups have huge debates about what is the least
abrasive substance to clean their windscreens with. :-) Also, if it
comes into contact with certain chemicals, it'll start to melt and turn
opaque.

  Be careful with that thing! :-)
