I'll stand with you Ken. I keep a Shoei face shield in the race trailer for 
use at the track when it's raining. Treated with Rain-X (along with a 
FogCity inner lining). Have had it for approx 3 yrs without any problems. 
It's not used often but It's NOT cleaned of Rain-X between uses (takes a 
while to apply the stuff so it's kept ready to go in case of sudden need). 
Stays packed away in a workbench drawer until it's needed. But I've 
observed absolutely no degradation in terms of opacity, brittleness, etc.
