Dry paper towel first. Then I use a foam glass cleaner sprayed onto a paper towel. Then another dry paper towel.
I used to use Bon Ami for the foam cleaner, but switched to a foam cleaner called "Sprayway". It's sold at the glass shop I deal with. It has no ammonia and smells purtty too!:smile:

Cheers:smile:,

I spray with Coralife glass cleaner/polisher as well. I use a soft terry cloth and it buffs up real nice! I was surprised it actually works.

Use a dry bathroom towel to 'polish' glass. I find using glass cleaner just creates streaks. dry paper towels also work

Wow, I surprised that so many people use things like windex. I've always been told that's a big no no. Good that hear that people have been using it with no problems. Good feed back. I've looked at that coralife spray stuff, but wasn't sure if it was worth it - sounds pretty good now.

Thanks guys!

Windex is fine.. as long as your not spraying it near the direction of the tank.. I've been using it since day 1 with no ill effects whatsoever.

Windex all the way for moi.

I use a sponge with warm water and then squeegee to dry. Takes about 30 seconds for a 6ft long tank.

Oh is THAT why?? I've seen/heard of people using newspaper, but never knew why.

I agree, makes total sense. Obviously if you're careless and overspray it into the tank, then that's a big no no. Just spray it onto the towel, away from the tank, then wipe the glass.

I use a semi wet towel.Then a dry towel works well.
