I currently have two meteor cameras running. One has a 6mm lens enclosed in a conventional CCTV housing with a glass window mounted at 45 degrees from vertical. The second camera is mounted vertically under a clear Perspex dome. There's a heater and fan mounted inside the dome, so condensation clears quite quickly. However, rain drops can take an hour or two to clear from the outside. I know that there are various products one can apply to plastics (such as motorcycle visors) to repel water droplets. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWe_zXXVa7IHas anyone tried these on a clear dome? I have two concerns: 1 - is the application process likely to cause micro-scratches on the dome? 2 - does the coating introduce optical distortion? I'm loathed to try some without getting as much info as I can first for fear of trashing the dome. Any information or experience greatly appreciated. Thanks

As mentioned elsewhere Michael, I have used RainX and have seen no problems in the short time I used an acrylic dome.
