What cleaning product do you guys use to clean a cgc holder? 0

What is safe to use just to clean the front and back surfaces of a cgc holder?

Would a slightly wet Kleenex do? As long as I dry it right away after with a dry piece Kleenex?

Xylene Cyclohexanone (but don't try it at home, kids!).

As do I.

These are not simple finger prints (I would not bother with that it is more like some goo) they look more like someone ate some chips then handled the cgc case.

Mix a little vinegar with water, that will get rid on anything. Completely safe for the cases.

I appreciate the help will do for sure.

I just soak the thing in the sink overnight. I've found that lukewarm water works best.

Butane and steel wool. Good luck.

Those little square one time use eyeglass cleaners. When you get smuges on your eyeglasses you use them. I forgot what they are called. They are damp enough to clean the font and back of a case.

Go to your local auto parts store and pickup a bottle of Meguiar's PlastX.

 

Run's about $7 to $10. Stuff lasts forever.

 

It is a clear plastic cleaner and polish.

 

It removes the sticker residue from ComicLink and Metropolis Stickers while trying to peel them off.

 

This stuff is great and only a little dab will do ya.

Silver age book? Silver age dirt on the case as well. Clean? Never!!

 

I use goo gone on the sticker residue.If they need cleaning, I'd use lcd/plasma screen cleaner. If its good enough for a tv screen, then it absolutely won't hurt your case. It's also a gel rather than a liquid base in most cases, so no running liquid down the case. (thumbs u

I asked this seller what happened this was his response.

"My ex girlfriend bought this for me awhile ago but when she took off the price tag not all of it came off so she tried to use goof off to take off the rest of the stickiness, lol, so ya that’s why it’s like that"

 

I'd avoid the goo gone.

Perhaps it was a particular brand she used?  I've been using it for years for labels on both old and new cgc cases with no issues and it comes out perfectly clean with no scuffing at all and afterwards, I take a paper towel and with just a few drips of water on it, I wipe any left over residue off it, then dry it with another paper towel. This is the exact one I've used many times. I should also point out that I peel off most of the label by hand and once there is only the glue from the label left, I spray the paper towel (not the cgc case) so I can control how much goes in the concentrated spot I'm removing and lightly clean away what's left. Once done, there is no trace of any label or scuffs at all.

That one says surface safe maybe the one his girlfriend used was not. This is just what the seller told me so it could've been a completely different product. I'm happy for your success with goo - gone. My go to at the moment is 70/30 isopropyl alcohol.

Anything wrong with using Windex?  
 

that’s what I’ve been using.
