Cleaning a Lumenarc III reflector??

I have read to use vinegar?

So do you just pour the vinegar on just any old rag and wipe it down or is there another way?

If you are speaking of the glass...

Just take it out and clena it with white vinegar. Use it like windex or any other glass cleaner.

Don't use vinegar on the reflector itself. Use RO/DI water, alcohol or as suggested above car wax
