4. Apply Cleaning Solution<\/b><\/h3>\n

Spray the solution onto the plexiglass in small sections, wiping it away with a clean microfiber cloth as you go. Don\u2019t spray down the entire plexiglass sheet at once and be sure to rinse any dust or debris off the cloth between sections.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Give a Final Rinse<\/b><\/h3>\n

Make your plexiglass really shine by wetting another clean microfiber cloth with warm water and wiping down the plexiglass surface.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
