Default Cleaning glass on light fixtures

Need to change out my bulbs on my belize sun light fixture, and have salt water burnt on the glass over the mh's. I was wondering what people do to get rid of the salt stain on their glass. i have tried using vinegar and water and wiping it off, but doesnt really get all of it off. i plan on removing the glass and soaking it in hot water, and wiping it clean with a cloth,or should i use a sos pad or razor blade to get it off? Any thoughts would be helpful

Default cleaning glass

I would try to use a white scotch brite pad. Also you could try to use fine steel wool. Make sure the glass is wet with window cleaner.

Coralife makes a salt creep eliminator.... supposed to help prevent salt build up. I find it works well for cleaning the glass or plexi too. I spray it on, let it sit and wipe. Sometimes takes a few wipe downs to dissolve all the salt.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
