how to clean adhesive of acrylic??

rsantangelo3@co · 04/10/2011, 01:22 PM

my 300 gallon is back in business and has adhesive residue on it from the plastic wrap in was in. Not thick by any means, can barley feel it just has that look like residue and the palstic wrap has that stuff in it to cling so to speak. Any ideas?
