I have half spray bottle of acrylic cleaner polisher you can have if you want to stop by.

Clear for Life bottles their own stuff, I got my from some airline hanger stock room since they use the good stuff to clean the fine scratchs you people put on the windows.

Not for scratches but just in general cleaning.

What type of rags do you use and where do you get them?

What about a paper towel with some warm water?

From what I've read they can lead to scratches depending on the paper towel. That's kinda why I'm interested in what others are using.

i believe any rag that is 100% cotton only...

I use a cloth rag, that is made of 100% polyester. This is the same stuff that I use on the magnets, when I clean off the glass on the inside of the tank.

I have some spray, that I got from Clarity Plus, that I use when I really want to clean the front of the tank really well.

I also don't let the salt or regular water harden on the front glass. I wipe it alway right away.

Clean cotton terry cloth.

We can't use polyester because the possibility of it generating static electricity when rubbed.
