Chris:

I speak from experience:  do not use acetone--it will cloud the plex.  We use Mineral Spirits, or you can use WD40 in a pinch, too.  It may involve some elbow grease, and we just use our fingernails and a soft rag.  I'm always afraid of scratching the plex, so I don't use razor blades.  Then buff it with a plex polish like Brillianize and you'll be as good as new.

Good luck!

Chris

Does anyone have a suggestion for some sort of solvent or cleaner that is
good for removing adhesive from plexiglass without damaging the plexi?  We
are changing around some graphics in our exhibit hall but want to use the
original plexi panels with new graphics.

Thanks,
