Title: Waterwalls - cleaning
Post by: Chazz on January 13, 2010, 05:34:52 pm

Hey gang,
I just added a couple of waterwalls to the bar with the Media Center.  I was wondering if anyone had some tips for cleaning them.  They're both really cloudy.  These pictures are without the water added.

Maybe add some CLR to the water. (?)

Tried soaking it in CLR and gave it a good cleaning, but still came out foggy and cloudy.

Disassemble and scrub them?

What about just spraying with scrubbing bubbles?

BTW, very cool! Sounds like a heck of a bar!

Try a product called "Brillianize" http://www.brillianize.com/ (http://www.brillianize.com/)

If it's hazy plastic you can use "Novus" polish and cleaners.http://www.novuspolish.com/ (http://www.novuspolish.com/)

It's probably Acrylic, so don't use alcohol or ammonia based cleaners.
