I took my bottle door apart to clean the glass and the plexiglass. I cleaned the glass and it looks really nice. But, my pexiglass is extremely hazy on some parts and nice and clean on other parts. My guess is that it's the rope caulking that has smeared. I've tried all purpose cleaner, glass cleaner, soap and water, and goof off. It won't budge. Any suggestions on what will clean this up?

It's only going to cost me $10 for a new piece of plexiglass. Gunna go that route. I figure if i gotta buy a new cleaning product for $5-10, may as well get a brand new piece.

Take that piece of plexi to a glass shop and have them cut it in glass, better yet make all 3 new pieces......it looks so much better especially if there is light behind it!

Glen,
It's for a vertical 6 case. No lighting and only 2 pieces (1 glass, 1 plexi) in the vertical 6 case.
1. Should I still have them do it in glass instead of plexi?
2. And what about the 1/4" hole that's in the plexiglass? Does that hole need to be there?

Sure, have new glass made since you are this far into it. The hole serves a purpose and they should also have the tool to drill it for you.

I'll have to see if they'll drill the glass for me. I asked them to drill the plexi and they said the won't do it. Doesn't sound promising....

For those that have run into the hazy thing before, and those that have been in the military may know what I'm talking about, but I've used the stuff known as "never-dull" or for the really older guys, "duraglit", that is a soft cottony like material with a cleaning agent in it. It is what we used to use to shine our brass with before they came out with all the anodized brass. I've tried it on headlights and it works really great. I have not had to try it on too many other things, but I assume it would work, and a small tub lasts a long time. If you just put the piece back in and keep it sealed up, you can even reuse it until it gets just too dirty to use any longer. Anyway, just a recommendation to try in case no one has ever heard of it or tried it before.
