How much does crazing affect Polar?

Not at all (provided that the surface is being maintained).

What does 'the surface is being maintained' mean? Can you 'buff out' crazing to the point that it does not increase drag?

I'm surprised that crazing towards the leading edge does not affect laminar flow. How is crazing different than 'bug factor'?

Does crazing progress to a point where it affects drag? Is it still called crazing when that happens?
