Dear Paul,

I use this exclusively, and it is so good, the dust falls off...

Be careful when you spray this material onto acrylic,
since you must buff this liquid into the acrylic like a car
wax, and if the sprayed liquid lands on the floor, the floor
becomes a nightmare to walk on. :)

An acrylic supplier introduced this to me a few months
ago, and it just works as advertised. I use compressed
air to remove the dust as required, once this liquid is
applied to the acrylic surface.  This makes the acrylic
surface extremely, extremely slippery.

As a side note, I use this stuff to clean negatives too,
although I do not apply the liquid directly to the
negative, since the negative emulsion will swell. So,
to avoid that, I spray some liquid onto a chamois and
lock the chamois in a plastic sealable bag over night.
The chamois is damp, yet dry enough the next day to
buff both sides of the negative, but your actions must
be smooth, steady, and gentle across the negative.

You will notice the resistance across the negative will
diminish with each stroke, as you clean your negatives
with this very lightly, damped chamois. Be careful not
to buff the negative too hard, because this liquid is also
a cleaner, and it has a tremendous ability to pick up
garbage in the chamois that can, and will ultimately
score your emulsion. I usually clean my 8x10 negatives
gently on a treated piece of acrylic, using this product,
while wearing cotton gloves.
