What brand are you using? Hold the goggles to the light and see if the
coating's been smeared (which will eventually happen to the iridium from
Oakley).

Make sure the lens is at the front.

I think they were just a fairly cheap brand called "sinner" but they
seem to be pretty popular and are brand new - my wife bought me them
for christmas - holding both pairs up to the light they are fine, i am
going to buy a really good pair as i suppose your eyes are the most
important thing but cant decide the colour. Maybe i can borrow a
couple of different colours from the shop next time i go.

I was thinking that there should be a standard "Turtle Wax" style response
to the goggle-color question. This is working in that direction, but could
be punchier.

True. I was thinking more in terms of potatoes and Speedos.
