Hands up anyone who's heart sinks whenever they see the dreaded "IP" circled on the work order! You're thinking: "Well, there goes at least an hour trying to clean all the streaks out of the wretched stuff."
I've tried everything...rubbing alcohol, lighter fluid, Windex, Newman's Own oil and vinegar dressing...some with more success than others, but the ultimate cleaning solution was brought to my attention recently and it is no further away than your kitchen cupboard. You probably won't believe me, I didn't believe it myself until I actually tried it.
The miracle solution?? Peanut Butter! That's what I said...peanut butter. Just take one of your glass cleaning towels, smear a bit of peanut butter on it ( chunky or smooth...doesn't matter ) and spread it around, just like you're making a sandwich. Keep rubbing and polishing until there's no more p.b. residue and , voila, no more streaks. It looks better than when it came out of the box! But don't take my word for it, try it yourself. Get yourself a piece of scrap Image Perfect, pick your substance to destroy the glass... my personal favourite is the little bottle of IP "cleaner" that comes with the box, I have yet to find anything that does more damage to the finish of the glass...and smear away!
No longer do we have to keep our peanut butter sandwiches out of the workshop! If I ever come across a piece that peanut butter won't clean, I'm breaking open a jar of blackberry jam...
