"Please... never, ever, use cleaners containing ammonia. Cleaners such as 
Windex or 409 will harm your new piece of acrylic."

Hah!  Windex is the 1st thing I used! Oh well I'll have to get a cleaner w/out 
ammonia from now on.  

I just tried Prazio drum cleaner and I am surprised that didn't get the last 
bit off.  I'll try to find eucalyptus oil.
