Mike,
Of course you can blame my system for being too bright and the Silclear just revealed it. Who can say for sure? Another reason for the "honeymoon effect" (liking what the stuff does at first, but not later) could be that it deteriorates in service (maybe due to oxidation?) and needs to be cleaned off and reapplied periodically. Doing that is enough of a PITA to perhaps justify avoiding it in the first place. However, I am not telling anyone not to try it; I just urge a careful evaluation before going all-in, as very thorough cleaning (using solvent) is needed to fully remove it.
Some of the other Mapleshade tweaking products have a similar signature to Silclear, including the Optrix CD spray. Optrix at least is water-soluble, so easily reversible just by rinsing.
Best,
JJ
