Dodger windows again ( sorry )

I know we have talked about this before, but I am darned if I can find the thread....
I am about to hit the key & buy another roll of clear vinyl.
Now one of the first rolls I every had was called crystal clear 20/20 @ 0.5mm. This was nice & clear & lasted well but seems to have dissappeared so I tried a taiwanese product which was 20thou = 0.5mm.  this is just ok, tends to be a bit swirly & a PITA to get off the roll.
So I am now looking at a product called Crystal view, which only comes in 10Thou = 0.5mm
My use is mainly for Dodgers which fold down & curtains that zip off.
The last 'sheets' I ordered where just called Crystal Clear, nice but the 'left covers' went all spotty in the tubes & unusable, my supplier insisted that it wiped off. It didn't & now they have stopped selling it.
They now sell a product called 'Ultra glass' very expensive & one the one job I used it on it shrank, a lot.
Strataglass doesn't like being folded down & of course there is the cost, a bit much for the run of the mill dodger :-)

So what do you all use ?


Thanks

Aqua-View, 30 gauge.  It's double polished, very clear, and seems to hold up well.  It comes in 20 gauge as well.  See page 35 here...

Some eBay vendors sell it for crazy money, but it's around for less.  I'll have to look up what I paid for the last roll I got.  I seem to recall it being less than $10 a yard.
