Case window rough surface/marks

[Kanz]

Hey all,
My first post on this forum :-)

Anyways, I bought one these case windows with my Neon Light case.

When I got it, it had a plastic seal over it (to prevent scratches) so I ripped it off and it left marks all over the window.
They aren't scratches but the window looks very messy and yucky, probably due to the plastic ? Or is it just the window...

Is there anything I can get to wipe the window clear ??

Cheers
Kanz

Try some glass cleaner, thats what I use to clean my window and it works well.

I'm picking that it is some form of glue that has been left behind.

If glasscleaner doesn't seem to work try using eucolyptis oil.

hey guys

i tried Ajax glass cleaner. It appeared to be working but when i wiped it dry it was still there. however the window is now a little clearer.

yeah i think it could be glue too.
Geek4life: where can i get this eucolyptis oil?

cheers

try anywhere that sells Aromatherapy Oils.....

[varkk]

I think it is in most supermarkets, near the herbal remedy stuff, otherwise look in other places which have herbal remedy stuff...

or some isopropyl alcohol should get it off.... failing that try smearing on some brasso, wipe it off and clean it up with some window cleaner.

Meths.......
or Acetone.....can you buy that anywhere?

Bought a bottle of Eucalyptus oil for $3.35.
Seems to have done the trick...

Thanks guys for your inputs :)

PS - I asked the guy if they had Ispropyl acohol and he replied. "Hell no, that stuffs too strong for us."

Thanks again

I wouldnt recommend using meths as Binky Stunt Cat says. I once used meths to clean the marks from boxing tape off my sea monkey tank and it stuffed up the plastic/perspex stuff - it made it kind of frosted, but it thats the effect you're after...

[edit] Sorry, didn't see the last post :p

Oh lets see... 5, no 6 days ago, so 15 :p

Just a note, Ammonia based glass cleaners will make perspex go cloudy over time as you use it:eek:. I guess it solowly seeps into the plastic or something. I can't remember where I read this. Though it was only a couple of months ago.
You could try Pledge or some other furniture polish. though i dont know if it has similar effect. pledge is a wonder for scratched cds though :cool:.
