Cleaning Curved Glass?

You folks with bow fronts or tanks with curved glass, what do you use to scrape algea off the curved section?

We are hitting the "uglies" stage on our 46 gallon bowfront and our scruby/squeegee fish tank cleaning thing on a stick isn't working real well.

Are there any easier ways to clean the curved portion of a tank?

I use a small mag-float on my 28 bow and it is pretty much useless, taking at least 3-4 times of passing before the glass is clean. Im curious what everyone else is using...

3-4 passes would seem like magic as compared to what I'm doing now.

I think I'll pick up a Mag Float this weekend and see how it works. Thanks for the help everyone!

A credit card, and gloves, followed by a sponge.

I started using a bondo filler spreader. It works alright, no miracle. The credit card for the hard stuff.
